No Boost :( 700

Just when I get all of the parts for installing ipd blue poly strut rod bushings and new tie rod ends, I notice I have no boost on the way home from the Saturday morning kid runs. I've checked vac lines and they look good, replaced the one coming from the waste gate controller to the intake manifold just because it was looking bad. The car runs fine, just down on power and the boost gauge won't go above atmospheric.

I've replaced all of the air hoses expect the little bugger on the turbo outlet. That's next. I'm also trying to get the test connection off the downpipe to see if my cat is clogged. Am I missing any thing obvious? I read the FAQs and they didn't have anything else. And is there a prayer that the downpipe test conn will come loose after 174k miles? I'm giving it several sprinklings with pb blaster, soaking overnight before I put the breaker bar to it.

Your help is appreciated!!
