How do dodge cummins wastegates run?

I have the 2004.5 with the 325hp 600 motor. When i crimp my wastegate line i get higher boost psi. is our wastegate normally spring closed and air opened?if i block the line why does the wastegate still open? does it just relieve pressure after a given amount of spring tension?

Sorry bout the thread just learnin is all
