Does the turbo have an internal wastegate? Not sure what the stock boost setting is on those. You could either get a different actuator if you needed to lower boost or get a manual boost controller to raise it. Might help you out if you don't want to get an external gate.

www.------------- for your P28.
Just use the wastegate on your turbo now. It will save you money until you want to upgrade.

I havde an IHI RHB5 from an 88 Thunderbird and it's gated at 9 psi, though 11 psi spikes are common. I don't know if it shares a waste gate actuator with its little brother from the Probe/MX6, though. Maybe. 7 psi sounds reasonable too.
