It's impossible to hear the wastegate.

What kind of problems are you having?

The wastegate is in the exhaust housing. If you pressure tested the intake side, you might hear air pushing through an open valve. I don't think all the intake valves are closed, so just because you hear air pushing through doesn't mean you have a leak. Just check the intake system (boots, I/C, turbo housing, etc.) for leaks.
