IIRC, most people run the wastegate on the top at 22-25 psi.

Usually with a boost elbow, or some manual boost controller. If 21 psi setting is needed, just use the stock elbow, since that is where the turbo wastegates normally.

You might consider having the wastegate modified to flow more air.... Also have the snail crossdrilled. This is what we do for these types of turbos for twins.

I agree with what Jetpilot said. Make the WG hole bigger. If you want to get real fancey you can make a differant flapper for the WG and make the hole realy big. I prefer to grind the center section divider down about 1.5" as aposed to drilling through the divider. I've seen to many cracks. I grind them down into a U.
