Well i plugged the waste gate line

I plugged the wastegate line and went out for a drive. I eased into her and then punched it waiting to hear the buzzer and see the light. Well it didnt happen it went to 10 like always so i think my waste gate is sticking

How quickly does it boost to 10 psi? If the WG itself is stuck partly open, it will spool very slowly. If the WG is fully shut, and you have no boost leaks (IC hoses, etc), the turbo could be bad. Pull the inlet elbow and see if it looks like the compressor fins are hitting the housing.

88 Turbo Coupe: Intake and exhaust mods, T3 turbo at 20 psi, forced air intercooler, water injection, bypass valve, Ranger roller cam, subframes, etc., etc.. // 86 Tbird 5.0 (original owner): intake, exhaust, valvetrain mods, 100 HP nitrous, ignition, gears, suspension, etc., etc.... // 91 Escort: Bone stock winter car // 02 Taurus Vulcan(wifes car)

I would say its a perrty slow spool. But i will pull the elbow and check that out. It doesnt look to hard to bolt another turbo on.
