I don't think my wastegate is working. The stock Internal one.
because when I slam the gas pedel or the throttle body. The wastegate
rod doesn't move. I have no boost gauge to know what my turbo is
really spooling so I really dont know. any help?

Turbo(wastegate)

If your car is idling, standing still, and you rev the car up, you're
not creating that much boost because the engine isn't under
load. If your wastegate wasn't working, you'd overboost to 13PSI,
and you'd know if you were hitting 13PSI.

Besides the sound of the turbo, which you should be able to
hear, a boost gauge is the best way to find out what your turbo is
doing.
