they are suppose to be good for up to like 15psi, but ---- it.

get something bigger if you want more power.

Its my fisrt HMT kit so first i will use stock wastegate 7.5~8.5 psi then i will increase boost with a boost controller... at this point, if i need more power i will buy a t3/t4

But for the moment i just want to know how much psi thi turbo will hold. So it seems to be holding 10psi...its a begining! :P

The stock wastegate will get you 7psi with good exhaust, with an MBC I wouldn't try to hold 10psi since the spikes you will get can get up to 12 or so pounds. I don't know about you but on a stock engine (as I am assuming) I wouldn't wanna take that chance. Use your MBC to hold at 8 with spikes around 10.
