Default WTF new turbo isn't spooling?!?!

I spent from 10 am in the morning till just now 3 am the following night putting my turbo on.

When we got it started finally and went to drive it i'm punching it and not getting ANY boost at all. All the charge pipes are connected, there's no massive exhuast leaks before the turbo.

The only thing i can think of is the wastegate is dumping air out at idle. From what i understand the wastegate should always stay shut until you pass your spring PSI (mine is 6) so at idle it shouldn't be leaking air. My guess is that the wastegate is stuck open so i'm not getting any boost. Is there an adjustment for it or anything? It's a brand new tial 38 mm, the bottom flange has a vaccum hose running to the turbo and the top flange has a vaccum line tapped into my manual boost controller.

Do i have the wastegate installed wrong or something?
