they are new and improved with thicker rods. I also have an '07 with ~46k miles, and I haven't had the wastegate rattle come back so far. mine were replaced more than 1k miles ago and I've been driving the car hard with a tune. Hopefully the issue doesn't come back!

My rattle came back a few thousand miles after having the actuators replaced. Shortening the rods by 1.5 turns eliminated the rattle though-at least for the thousand or so miles that I've driven since doing it.
