Just re-route that hose from the compressor side to the wastegate and have it run to the boost controller and then to the wastegate. What you are doing with a boost controller is controlling how much boost comes from the turbo before it gets sent to the wastegate to open it up.

Then turn boost the wrong direction and punch it. You should succesfully brake the shaft of the turbo. I did.

oh alright
cause i was thinking.....
wont i only be able to raise the boost and not lower it?
because all the air goes from the compressor side into the wastegate and that is the level of the stock boost
if i have a boost controller, wont i only be able to decrease the air that goes from compressor to the wastegate, which would increase the boost?
i need to lower it so i could get around 5psi max....

That's right, you can't. Not unless you respring the wastegate actuator or replace it all together. Now, most likely you'll get boost creep, (where the pressure raises in higher gears by itself past what the boost controller is set at), to combat this you port your wastegate (almost requires removing the turbo from the car though).
