Default Procedure for vacuum testing the wastegate?
I am down at least 3-4 psi on boost lately. I'm trying to test the wastegate by connecting a hand-held vacuum pump (MityVac) directly to it and it is not pulling any vacuum. Do I need to make sure something is blocked off in order to do this correctly or is my wastegate shot for sure?

Default I have, they're fine...
