I believe in the kit you get two per actuator so you end up replacing both

At least one person replaced all of them and still had a failure.

The kit actually provides 5 MOSFETS I guess if I am not wrong.

You can buy the 5 mosfets on eBay also. I have a set but won’t be doing this now since I have an mpower rebuilt on one bank and a new one on the other. I rebuilt 4 with new gears. 2 still failed and 1 failed later. The 4th was still working when I swapped it because I was in there changing the starter. Not worth my time messing with these — I have spent too much time swapping them around already.

What did go wrong with them? I remember when I changed my spark plugs and boot I torn them apart to see how they were and they were not bad at all despite the age of the car... There is a lot of heat up there and I think that they are not spited well between the V ... not ideal for the 2.

Replace only the one that failed. And keep the others for later if the TA fails again for the same or any other reason.
