You can tell if the turbo is working properly on 110s..

while the engine is idleing.. reach to the throttle under the lhm tank/air intake and rev the engine. . Watch the intercooler pipe at the front between the radiator and engine the turbo should spool up instantly and the pipe should expand under turbo pressure.. however if the wastegate is stuck open the engine will pull the pipe inwards. Both instances are quite noticable..
