Wastegate actuator arm not moving

Does anyone know if the wastegate actuator arm should be moving when revving in park? I have a 2013 N26 with EWG it that helps with anything

My Electronic wastegate actuator arm went out at 93k miles. Mine is a SULEV so I got the whole turbo assembly replaced with the actuator. If your actuator does go out, you don't really need a whole new turbo, just replacing the actuator is fine, BMW likes to replace the whole assembly. If there's anything wrong with the actuator arm, stuck, not moving, car will throw codes and go into limp mode. You'll actually get a code that says the actuator arm is stuck and you'll also get boost codes.
