depending on what kinda wastegate it is...if its internal...its gotta be adjusable. if it is, then jsut unscrew it a lil and rev it up and see what you boost to til it opens. for the bov..you dont really set thouse to any pressure... theres a vac line that goes into it...as soon as you let off the gas...the throttle closes. when the throttle closes there is now vac behind it. the vac sucks up the piston in the bov and the pressure thats on the other side pushes it up...so theres really nothin to set on bovs. on some you can adjust how hard/soft it is. that means how much pressure it takes to open it. for only 5-6 psi, your gunan want it on a very low setting.

ohh yeah...set your wastegate to 5.5psi or whatever the lowest psi you'll want to run is.. then use the boost controller to set wheather it opens at 5.5 psi...or 8...or 10...or whatever.
