how do you know if its working? I was thinking of putting some air from compressor in the rubber tube to see if it moves.

You could damage the wastegate with compressed air
buy a boost gauge and go for a spin around to block first.

But if its not working and giving the engine to much boost
the engine should have a over pressere blow off valve to protect the motor.

Try a boost gauge to see if you are getting the correct psi
