hmmm very confusin...but a couple of points...

a turbo will behave like the guage iis tied ti the pedal...it is in effect...the fact that its getting to anywhere suggests the waste gate is closed...otherwise it would stay firmly pegged down...

you will NOT get any boost regestering whilst reving in neutral...simply the engine swallows more air than you are producing you will only get boost showing whilst the engine is under LOAD...I know you are producing boost...but dont forget you dont have BOOST guage (i know its called that but it isnt ACTUALLY measuring boost its measuring manafold presure!)

As i understand it (which may be wrong!) the waste gate is activated by prsure along that rod...
