Waste Gate issue

Ive always thought my turbo was not working properly, but now i got the right size tires on it I can really tell. So i bought a vacuum tester and put 20 (psi I think) and had no leaks. The waste gate is vacuum not pressure right? Is there any other way to test the waste gate?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Not vacuum, it works off of pressure coming from the red line off the spider.
