DIY BMW N55 Turbo Wastegate Actuator Replacement PWG 335i E9X LCI | PWG Actuator Replacement/Install

I came across the issue where my PWG wastegate had failed, but I could not find a single video online on how to replace it; I also had a super hard time finding the part itself, and forums did not help. If you call the dealer, they will tell you that they cannot sell just the wastegate actuator and that you will need to buy the whole turbo + housing, but that is NOT TRUE!

Please keep in mind that if you don't have an aftermarket catless downpipe, it may be harder for you due to a lack of space; my suggestion is if you are stock, you should get a VRSF 3.5" catless DP; make sure to check local laws to make sure that this is legal in your state/location.
