If worried connect feed from turbo straight to the wastegate actuator, this will keep the boost down. It's your risk otherwise....

DONT leave the one off the wastegate. You will overboost like mad.

Only turbo to wastegate !

LOL

That way actuator will set the maximum boost at (1 bar ?) but it's safe that way even if a bit slower....

The other pipe to the boost control solenoid usually bleeds off boost pressure under control of the ecu....
You don't know what pressure the turbo or actuator are set to operate at ?

0.4 bar is plenty til you get it mapped - patience is a virtue
