We don't have the D5 here in the USA. I looked a little bit online and it appears that which Turbo Actuator you have depends on the horsepower (hp) of the engine in your XC90.
Here is a link to a VIN decoder. If you enter the Vehicle Identification Number here, it will tell you what hp your engine has:

Here is a link to a Volvo forum in the U.K.
https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=37
They have the D5 there and might be better able to answer your question.
Thank you for your response and help! I tried using the page you provided for the VIN, but it said my vin number is invalid. So I searched a bit and found another one, the HP for my vehicle is 185 HP, which is great to know since I didn't have idea. Also, thank you for the link to the other forum, I didn't know the D5 wasn't in the States.

Based on what I see, the G-27 is for the 163hp version. The G-26 is for the 185hp version.
The part is not available from Volvo, they only ever sold it as a complete unit with the turbocharger attached.
The only choices, then, are a new (China) knockoff unit or a re-manufactured Hella unit. Here is a link to one company in the U.K. that sells the re-manufactured unit:
https://www.actronics.co.uk/actuator/he ... rett-turbo
just enter the vehicle details then click on "OEM Number" and scroll down to find the G-26 or G27 choices. I do not know if they ship to the Americas, you could try calling them or e-mailing them. They would probably be able to confirm which product is right for your application. I would believe that they are reputable because the EU is highly regulated in that way.
Here is the link for the same company based in Spain if Spanish works better for you for contacting:

If you want to be able to diagnose this yourself and need a guide for the procedure, then you need the Volvo VIDA/DiCE. This is the scan tool that Volvo uses. You can get a copy of the software (VIDA) here to download:
https://forums.swedespeed.com/showthrea ... nload-Link This contains the information about all repairs on the Volvo.
If you want to scan and diagnose, you need to purchase a DiCE (hardware) unit to use in conjunction with the VIDA software. Here is a link to one on ebay here in the USA:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/VIDA-DICE-2014 ... Sw9XhdcGJD
This is just an example. If you buy one like this you do not use the CD ROM that comes with it, use only the tool in conjunction with the software download above. Throw the CD away.
I now know the HP of my car is 185 HP, so probably the replacement I need is the G-26. To bad I can't get the original part, I also saw that originals can be fixed, but I'm not sure how that works. That UK website was the only one I found and actually I got the codes I posted above from there. It looked kind of fishy, since I have never bought something from the UK, I will try to contact them.
Do you think is worth it to have the scan tool volvo uses? I saw a few videos and It's cool to know I can see all the replacement parts and codes for the car, I can easily search from there, that is great and also look at the error codes and such, I can make the service by my own. I am a bit afraid of touching something in the software I shouldn't and break something, though. If I buy one of this, I imagine these are knockoffs from china, including the one in the link, but will any of these still work with the software? (or buy a cheaper one, I saw some other options for $50 usd).
Thank you for the help I really appreciate you take some of your time and give a helping hand, I am pretty new to this kind of things.
I will keep you updated if possible, it will take some time to buy some of these things since shipping times take way longer to my country. Will make a bit more of research and see my possibilities.
Thank you!
