Disconnect the hose between the wastegate and the control valve.

Manual transmission  : Accelerate in 3rd gear at wide open throttle (WOT). Read off the boost pressure value.

If the wastegate has stuck in the open position, the boost pressure will be less than 0.5 bar, 60-65 kPa.

If the wastegate has stuck in the closed position, the boost pressure will be higher than 0.5 bar, 60-65 kPa.
