I hate to scare you but my motor was turned into hot glitter at 23.7psi. If yours didn't blow there's a very good chance there's some crooked parts inside. Not definite but from my personal experience I'd be wearing depends till I got compression checked. The wastegates have upper and lower ports. The upper is either on top where it says Tial or directly on the side of the top hat. The lower is the other. (Not the one marked H2O). The upper is connected to the charge pipe via Twitter connector. The lower comes from the port as I sent the diagram into a T. Try to keep the length from the T equal. I sincerely hope that you didn't bend a rod or tear up some rings. But on the bright side it's an excellent excuse for a built lower. I'd drain the oil to check for glitter and if it's there purge the exapump. ( Don't ask how I know.) If there's no glitter check compression. Also I have a Greddy and it's pure Voodoo. Set it up at the lowest boost setting and work up. Here's where mine was at 9PSI

Lo boost settings
SET= 24%
WARNING =10.5
LIMITER=5%
START=7.5
GAIN= GO SLOW AFTER ALL OTHER SETTINGS.

That should keep you safe but that was with 5lb springs and maybe lower the set boost to 20% and set the warning to 9.5psi . That's a start once you get the readings you creep up slowly. When you find exactly where you want to be you can play with gain but that requires a copilot and a long trip to Mexico in and out of boost.
