Wast gate question

Right now I have my wast gate disconnected. I have a 14cm housing and can produce about 20psi boost. I'm going to install new injectors in the future and I know this will raise my boost . At what psi should l set the wast gate?

Thanks

Seeing as you have a WH1C I would recommend 28-30psi. Its not gonna run any cooler with more than that.

The 14cm housing w/ wast gate came with the banks stinger plus sustem. I thought the H1C starts to get real hot in the high 20s

I have the best luck at around 30 psi with my h1c. It's a compromise. 20psi is about the max for efficient, cool boost, but it's just not putting enough volume (in my case) through to burn the fuel. Though 30psi is starting to heat the air pretty good, it actually slows the pyro down more than 20psi does. Above 30, it seems to swing back out of my favor...
