Nope, just wastegate unhooked. To be fair I couldn't tell you what it is above 15 psi since my boost gauge is 0-15. But considering where the needle lands I'd wager upper teens low 20's.

Yes. Pump is maxed. Timing unknown but I did advance it a dimes width almost 10 years ago and doesn't sound advanced.

I run 15+ also but not all that often for years now with no blown gaskets yet, but not really stock anymore. R and d 90cc, stage 1’s, carter 4070, “factory” turbo with banks compressor housing and 60-1 mod with ats 093 hotside. 10psi is just about instant even with intercooler

You didn't have to re-stud the heads on it? My truck is all stock. I just really don't want to over-boost and grenade the motor

You won't grenade the motor. Worst case, you'll blow the head gaskets and have them start to leak combustion gasses into the coolant.
