Default REPOST for workweekfolks: HELP: Wastegate stuck open..

Ok, I have no boost, probably have not had full boost in the 4 months I had the car. Today, the tech at Rapid took a quick look, and told me to try to move the rod that opens/closes the wastegate once engine cooled. I did this at home and the rod would not budge... He drove it too and feels that the wastegate is probably stuck open, so: bad N75 valve or non-functioning wastegate.... what are my options here? What else should I trouble shoot?
