Hagerstown,
got a hrc stg 2. car wont boost but like 1psi. unplugged the vaccum line to the turbo and it still wont boost. all the signs point toward the wastegate on my turbo being stuck open. took off the wastegate and the rod pulled right out. also have a greddy s that is giving me hell. need help!!
 
I think it's more than likely your wastegate. Even while my wastegate is external I remember having this same problem, and it turned out that one of the two bolts had broken off that secured my wastegate in place so exhaust was just escaping that way..

What exactly is wrong with your type s BOV?
 
Also forgot to mention you should make sure that your BOV isn't leaking any of that lost boost right before the throttle body... If your BOV is easily adjustable like mine than it should be a simple matter of tightening it.
