It might have a hole in the tubing if you are loosing boost.. I would remove it, clean and inspect it.. It pretty easy to remove.

Is it possible to be so gummed up to not even get a reading.. Yes

Effect boost reading..No, even if the tube was rusted away, I dont think it would be enough to really effect boost numbers. It would effect them, but not alot.. Sorry Phil, but thats my take.

EBPS won't cause boost issues, but the EBPV could...

Unless it's stuck closed, or partially closed. Unplug it, then make sure it's open by pulling the arm off and wiring it open. Not easy with the turbo on, but doable.

I'd leave the EBPS connected. I don't have a wastegate or EBPV on my truck.
