Do you have to replace the whole turbo system if pressure control valve is bad?
What is your question?
My 2005 Dodge Sprinter 2500 won't get out of Limp mode. It will temporarily reset, operate normal for a minute after stopping and restarting, but it goes right back into limp mode. My mechanic says it's the Turbo Pressure Control Valve. He said it cannot be replaced and that my only fix is to replace the whole turbo system. Does anyone know if:
1. the valve itself can be fixed or removed and replaced?
2. there is anyway to bypass the turbo so it can operate at a normal(ish) speed?
3. there is an alternative to R&R'ing the whole turbo system?
Thank you!

the valve is called waste gate valve or actuator valve both are the same. if turbo is still in good working condition. absolute no do not replace complete turbo. in some replacement turbos the actuator valve do not come with turbo. the actuator valve should be replaced every 150,000 miles. on this part always use OEM valve new or rebuilt from E bay. often the ECM will not except after market valve. I have A new turbo with valve for A 2.7 Bend engine. sell for $500.00 Bill.
