No Buzz from BPC - How to Check?

I am getting a little better than base boost. At least I think so. It's kind of hard to tell without an actual gauge, but it seems like a little more boost with the BPC connector disconnected.
I disconnected the "W" hose and got more boost. I didn't push it hard enough to see if I could hit cut out. But it went into the orange where the needle never goes. I checked the resitance across the BPC terminals and it was 3 volts in both cases.
As near as I can tell there are no vacuum leaks. Cruise works and brake lights work appropriately.
The BPC does not buzz at all. I have not checked base boost since I don't have a real boost gauge, and I don't want to just start twirlling the wastegate rod. Also, the car is an auto and pulling fuse 9 doesn't seem to make much difference, as others have reported.
I have ordered the APC/DI manual, and the dealership tells me it's in. Anything to check before I tear into the manual. I don't have a known good BPC to experiment with.
