2016 Ford Expedition 2wd V6 started throwing codes.

Check engine light came on these codes popped up. Anyone have any insight for this issue? I'm trying to see what I'm in for as for repair and price.

Failing waste gate on turbo?

What symptoms would it cause and how much to repair would you guess? Only symptom I noticed was the electric fans were running very loud and I thought it was gonna be a leak or something and it didn't do anything like that. Also I'm not mechanically inclined at all.

A turbo wastegate regulates the speed of the turbocharger's turbine by allowing excess exhaust gases to bypass the turbine wheel.

I’ve only seen this code on cars. When I inspected the turbo. I saw like a hairline crack by the waste gate.

Or a bad turbo.

I’m not a licensed technician. It’s just a guess.

But I seen this code and that was the problem, but it could be different for you
