2008 RDX throwing turbo code

I have a 08 Acura RDX was driving yesterday and check engine light came on and it threw the turbo code and then all other lights came on battery light and stability system. I still had boost and power I brought it to a mechanic and he hooked up the code reader the code p2263 came out. I had him clear out all the codes and they haven't come back yet but it's loud on low RPMs sounds like an exhaust leak. Someone on another forum told me he had the same problem and it was the actuator bolt worn out on the turbo, Just looking for a little help anyone ever had this issue. I have a 08 Acura RDX with 180k .

If you do a search (upper right corner) there is a couple pages of threads about this code. Personally, I bought the entire actuator kit from Aliexpress rather than just the bolt, for only a few bucks more.

I think I talked to you on Facebook. Tons of folks have had this come up, as it seems almost inevitable before 200k miles. You'll want to start here:

Good luck, and make sure to post up any additional questions as they come.

Its also going through antifreeze I can't find a leak. I filled the reservoir and I drove to the store and back and it was almost empty. Can the turbo actuator make this happen

Could be a leak in the metal line under the intake manifold. Hard as hell to see it or find it. My brother in law is a mechanic so we took the intercooler, intake manifold off and found the metal line had rusted through.
