Default Focus c max, error code p0238

hi all,
just had this come up on the OBD equipment, the engine light is on and the turbo isnt boosting, is this usually a replacment turbo?
rather than replace can they be rebuilt? just looking for the cheapest option


many thanks

I wouldn't be changing the turbo just on a fault code you'll need to do some more testing. what is the code description?

There is a boost control valve bolted to the rear of the engine brown in colour if it's a dv6 1.6tdci I would be checking in that area first , vac lines no leaks and also electrical connector .

and the next issue and i believe a common one, it has the odd hesitation at low revs, is it worth some injector cleaner and decent diesel?
