Yep, and that is the reason I replaced mine with a fixed geometry turbo. Turbo and high flow pulse manifold only cost $1600 and I did it in one weekend.
SweetLou, the dealer might tell you that you have to replace the whole turbo, but you can just replace the actuator and have it calibrated. OE is about the only way to go on the actuator. If you replace both then I would go with an aftermarket turbo like the BD Screamer or Calibrated Power Solutions Stealth turbo. They have slightly larger blade profiles and larger housings that have benefits like lower EGT's even if you don't tune your engine for the added potential. They will cost a few hundred dollars more than a new OE turbo.
It is odd that you did not see a check engine light because a faulty actuator will generally throw one. That is the reason why I thought it might have been fuel since there was no CEL mentioned.
