Starts building boost: 1900 rpm
Full boost (7psi): 3600 rpm
WHP: 223

WasteGate Before ThrottleBody
Starts building boost: 1900 rpm
Full Boost (8psi): 3300 rpm
WHP: 228

Wastegate Before ThrottleBody, with MBC
Starts building boost: 1900 rpm
Full Boost (11 psi): 3600 rpm.
WHP: 257

And the proof is in the pudding!

Updated this post with pictures and virtual dyno graph. Peak torque stayed longer thus made better mid range power too.

That's the same source I'm switching to on my lowport. It's there on the lowport for sure.

I believe all but VE have those, part of emissions system. I will check tonight when I get home.

On another note, my mbc is sucking, boost spikes to 11 psi and falls off at 7-8 psi. I plan to just adjust in the gtir wg rod and control boost like that.
