Are you sure about this? I thought the wastegate was left _open_ when the
actuator was disconnected (i.e., all the precious engine fumes bypass the
turbo).

My '95 9K LPT experienced exactly this (felt 'ordinarily aspired' and lacked
power). Looking first here in the NG and then under the turbo conformed the
diagnosis: locking pin gone, rod disconnected.
