why would a wastegate just stop working and not opening up???
Quick question for you guys? I have noticed that my wastegate is no opening up for some odd reason and I was messing with the boost controller and thats not it.
timing and vaccum hoses are prefect. So why would a wastegate just stop working?
SOHC TURBO
on 10 psi
tial 38mm wastegate spring at 7psi

if its a diaphragm wastegate, that can tear and render the wastegate inoperable.

Sounds a bit more like THIS reason here. But details from The OP are needed..

If he's using race gas for 10psi of boost, he's got a turbo bigger than my spare tire
I'd recommend you take your WG off and disassemble (unless you aren't 'handy'). It could be corroded or in need of service.
