Well I finally got my NER 1F kit installed today, but I think I didn't clamp down a vacuum hose tight enough or something because I took it out for a quick little ride and didn't really feel any boost. Which vaccum line would cause me to not have boost?
Wastegate?
Blow-Off?
Vortech FMU?
All of them?

And yes, I have a boost guage and routed the line thru the firewall but havn't hooked it up to a vaccum source yet.

How hard did you drive it? You probably just weren't getting into boost.

None of those things you listed will cause you to have no boost.
Is your wastegate stuck open? I have no clue, you must not have it hooked up right, a vacuum line doesn't cause no boost.

How can I tell if the wastegate is stuck open?

Don't go hunting down phantom problems until you hook up your boost gauge. You'll probably find that you weren't pushing it hard enough to boost.

Gimme fuel...Gimme fire...Gimme that which I desire

reasons for no boost:
air leak,
westgate stuck open,
those are the obvious ones.... if your compressor is hooked up right you should see boost. Plug in your boost gauge and c what is going on..
if you have a t3/to4 e-trim you will c WOT at about 4-4.5K rpm.
