WG actuator movement

I gave our Golf TDI a thorough cleaning today, even washed the entire engine compartment :lol:
Anyway, I looked at the tiny Turbo and saw that it is an older style turbo with a wastegate, I thought we had a VNT :oops:
I tried to move the WG actuator by hand and it was stuck! Is it possible to move the rod with the boost pressure hose connected?

The car runs great, but may be a little low on power, it´s a whole lot slower than my tweaked Eco-Passat was...
