It's hard to say if you'll get that much boost, and really with a HX-35 anything over 35 psi is useless and you'll probably loose power.
Now on the question on wastegate upgrade compared to the boost elbow or J-hook....
The wastegate upgrade changes the spring rate and pressure required to open the wastegate. The elbow causes boost pressure to be restricted entering the wastegate, It opens at the same pressure but opens slower! The J-hook provides manual restriction or tension to the wastegate arm, causing it open at a higher boost.

No, the boost elbow will work great for your application! I've got about 50 of them in stock, give me a call if you need one!
