fundamental boost?...

The deal is I got one 1985 900turbo with low boost. I disable the wastegate and WOT in all gears produces 7psi. This is the same boost with the wastegate connected at port C. WTF! If I had a leak in the intake, which I probably do. How can it stop me cold at 7psi, wouldn't the turbo begin to overcome the lost pressure due to the hole. Then of course the turbo could be bad. But wouldn't it not boost at all, and make lots of noise. It is not making any noise. What about the waste gate?
Anybody got some experience with low boost, I did have a good solid 10psi for a while.
Now don't get me started on the other 1985turbo which only boosts to 4psi. Lets just say that being a double member of the <$350/SAAB club is not worth the admission. I am having serious doubts about my faith. My wife has long ago lost interest. She now leaves the room when I mention the cars! Not good.
BTW, what happened to Monster?
BTTW, Justin your old cheesy FAQ about trouble shooting turbos is getting a work out!
