Default P25b3. Need help asap please respond.

I am having the code p25b3. But I am noticing a 5-6 mpg improvement ever since the code went up. So the problem is not the wastegate actuator? Will the vehicle be temporarily to drive that way until fix?

The P25B3 trouble code indicates that the wastegate actuator in the turbocharger system of the Lexus IS 200t is stuck open123. This can lead to reduced engine performance, decreased fuel efficiency, and potentially even engine damage if not addressed promptly.
