I know exactly the feeling...I ahven't driven her for 3 weeks and haven't been on boost for a month and a half.  I've just spent the last week working on her and still ahven't had the chance to drive her...it's mind-numbing.  What boost controller and STB did you end up with?

Hey Josh! Have you got her boosting at 10lbs now? How does she feel? Just a few lbs should make a big difference in feel. When you go chipping, don't forget have your AFR gauge already installed. Afterwards you'll realy be going for a ride.  Gus.

Hey Josh! Most likely an adjustment, this is where porting the waste gate opening in the manifold also comes into effect. I would strongly consider it.  Gus

The wastegate opening, port, whatever is a part of the turbo on car with integral wastegates, the manifold has nothing to do with it.

Wastegate port is in the turbine housing.

underneath the little flapper door here:
 

Carefully grind it out, make sure the door still covers the port and leave some overlap. Dont need it leaking.
