Ehh. I've driven a 2.5 turbo with a completely failed wastegate. it was definitely slow but not slow like whoa.. more like it just took a little longer to rev up than dangerously slow.
For test purposes you can temporarily re route constant vacuum to the waste gate and go for a SHORT drive. if you feel like it might could tear the seat out of your pants then there's your problem. Don't drive too much like that as it will be over boosting.
The pressure controlled wastegate swap is fairly easy and cost about $100 in parts.
