Id say your just fine and let it be. Unless you have something other than a HX35 this is all you need it only ment to run up to 23psi and overheating these things will cause a loss of power
you have a good exhaust and intake so you wont bulid as high of pressure because after all your trying to get as much in and out as you can. NOT bulid up a bunch of traped pressuer

How can you check proper wastegate operation pre-gauges? I think mine might be sticking. Ordering gauges this weekend btw.
