In regards to the "uncontrolled boost," a MBC will not keep your boost down. You need a ported stock wastegate or an aftermarket one. The lowest boost you can run is that of the spring and releasing ability of the wastegate. I didn't notice if you have an aftermarket wastegate, but if you do, get a softer spring, maybe a .6 or .65 bar or so. Then you can add a little more with your MBC if you want to.
