Ask your mapper. If you're retaining the stock two port boost control you will need a restrictor of some sort in situ - although it may end up being a different diameter orifice to the one you have now.
If you're going to swap to a three port, again as I think we've been through earlier, there are two distinct ways to run the pipes, one of which can utilise a restrictor, so again it's a case of setting it up in a manner your man is confident with.
If you just want to set the car up to drive to the mapper after doing all the swapping over, I'd be tempted to connect the compressor outlet direct to the wastegate nipple and run on actuator pressure (and a light foot). If you haven't already got the VF23 I'd seriously consider what you're looking for. By modern standards they're laggy for the output they're capable of.
