Thanks for the info... taking a look at the wastegate hose does 
nothing.  Looks fine.... but too many BTDT's to think it could be anything 
else at this point.  If that doesn't fix the problem then I work on the 
wastegate diaphragm.  I'm pretty sure I've gone over most of the vacuum 
lines but seeing as how my car won't stall when I remove the oil cap I must 
have one somewhere.  I guess that will be one for my mechanic to discover....
