I have a 2004 mack vision with a 350 engine.  I sometimes get a 4-5 blink code and the turbo drops boost.  I thought it was the actuator pin so I removed it, cleaned it, and lubed it.  It seemed to be fixed but then it came back.  It seems to work better when it is fully heated up.  I checked the maintenance records and discovered that the turbo was replaced about 2011.  I also get a flutter in the control and I can see the actuator moving in and out as the control module applies pressure then vents it.  It almost seems like it is hunting for a position some times.  I put it on an independent air supply and the actuator goes from upper stop to lower stop with about 80 psi.  I was told that the actuator/sensor needs to be replaced, and I don’t mind doing that, but I am not sure how to determine if that is truely the root cause.  Can someone give me some advice here.

The turbo that is currently installed in the truck is 631gc5176DM12X
