trial and error mate, different for each set up and boost level.
Well I've blocked it off & its stopping me from hitting fuel cut now thanks m8.
It seemed to restrict the boost to abt .30 but theb higher up the rev range the boost increased to abt .72. The ebc doesn't seem to be able to hold it steady.
Think ill leave it alone until I get the actuator and port the wastegate and then set it up properly.

Update:
Fitted the actuator and ported some of the wastegate earlier:
The boost is alot more stable now but still nowhere near perfect, at least its not hit fuel cut again.
I wasnt sure how much of the wastegate to port, I could take more off but there were some hairline cracks already there and dont want to make matters worse.
Should I swap the decat back out and fit the Cat until I can sort something else out do you think?
I tried a roadtest with 3/4 of the air filter blocked up as well and didnt seem to help stabilize the boost.
Only problem at the moment is I cant setup the actuator with the creep so atm it is just roughly setup the same length as the old one.

if your still getting creep port the gate some more, i know it is a ball ache taking the car to bits again but its the only way to sort it out without getting a external wastegate, you can port as much as you want but just make sure the hole is fully covered when the wastegate is shut or you will have problems lol.
