Boost Not Blowing Off
With my stock wastegate I was hitting 18-20 psi!
I purchased a bighead wastegate did the adjustment to make it blow off around 30,but would only go up to 23psi!
Pinched it off to see the max and it hit 32psi!
Then I bought an adjustable elbow have it about a quarter way out and it wont blow off or shift unless i let off?
I want around 32-35psi,but also want it to blow off and shift without having to let off!

I don't understand your terminology of "blow off".
A "blow off" valve is not factory equipment on that truck so there will be no "blowing off".
if you want more than 32psi, put a turnbuckle on the wastegate to disable it's function. but this will put stress on a stock turbo and ultimately lead to a premature death of the bearings and shaft.

if the trans isn't shifting at WOT, it is a TPS or a transmission issue, not a turbo or wastegate issue.
