Anyone know how strong the wastegate is on a T2, as in when its not attached to the actuator arm should it be easy to open by hand with the little arm underneath? I hope someone understands what I'm on about 
basically I had a major boost leak fixed from the inlet, but still not getting more than 22ish psi, upto 24 without a filter. Has a new d seal and new metal inlet gasket, only thing its missing now is the little stud in the middle at the bottom but I would be surprised if that leaks? It's getting plenty of fuel, smokes on boost. The boost pipe is blocked, I'm thinking its wastegate creep, but I couldnt move the wastegate by hand. Maybe I'm being an idiot, hence the first question..
