If you can see the wastegate actuator and its pushrod, it's a Garrett. Check to make sure the little E-clip is attached on the end of the pushrod where it attaches to the wastegate arm. On my SDL it was missing and the pushrod was off. There were no wear marks to either piece and the soot buildup in the intake manifold and exhaust were simply unbelievable! No telling how long it had been driven like that. I'd imagine the PO wondered why the car was sooooooooooooo slow!
