no.. stick a bolt in the line and use a hose clamp to seal it to the bolt

Boost is related to fuel.....so the more fuel you can put to the engine the more boost it will make....So you might not see much more than that is you don't tune the AFC, slide the plate and AFC housing forward.

mine t's on the afc as well.i took the line off that runs to the watsegate and plugged it and stuck i back on. for the plug i took a 16 penny nail and cut the head off with about 3/8 of an inche of the shank still on and stuck it in the hole on the back of the afc. then i slid the hose back over it and clamped it on. worjed just fine for me

Instead of plugging the wastegate why don't you just mess around with adjusting the waste gate if you want more boost. And like duster said boost is related to fuel so you might not like what you see once you adjust or plug the wastegate
