Default Wastegate/No wastegate???

If I want to run the car without a wastegate, can I just disconnect the vaccum line, or do I need to unhook the little arm?

Just wondering, I want to do a test and see if the little turbo can give me more than 4psi, or if maybe the turbo is shot.

I'll try it today, what if it just doesn't build enough boost? I think I tried this months ago and nothing happened.

WOO WOO

ok today after work, I checked everything again, nothing, I still have a leak but whatever. The I saw my BBKA style filter and it looked kinda clogged with old oil or something, I took it off.

Holly ----!!!! The bitch rips, I had my MBC up all the way because of the tests before and the bitch got up to like 17 psi, I quickly let go, adjusted the mbc to around 10 psi, holly ----, the best day of my life.
