Off topic - Your driveway looks just about exactly like mine - I have an '83 245 that same color and a '99 T5. What color is yours? Hard to tell with the lighting.

Anyway, your T5 should be running about 11-12 psi stock. I did the wastegate adjustment, and in conjuction with the TME exhaust, I'm not sure what it really got me other than higher boost spikes. I appear to be running a sustained 0.9 bar, with spikes to 1.1 bar (according to the boost gauge).

Next mod will be a manual boost controller. Once that's on, I'll dyno up to 17 psi to make sure air/fuel ratios will remain safe.
