My strong advice:
Put your stock cat back on until you get the PFC and can have it tuned. I hope MZM ported the wastegate before they installed those turbos. If not, you are likely going to have to run a restrictor plate with the midpipe after you reinstall it. I HOPE someone at MZM explained this is to you.
If you are planning on upgrading the injectors soon, it was INSANE that this wasn't done during the engine rebuild. Now you've got a few PITA hours ahead to upgrade the injectors when it could have been done for free and little trouble with the motor out.
In any case, keep it at 10 psi and under (if you can), until you get the PFC AND have it tuned. Steve Kan at Gotham Racing should be able to tune it for you at their shop, which is pretty close to you.

So you had this car for a year, and you call the previous owner a jackass because the reliability mods on the car were never done? Dude you had the car for a year... All you had to do was open the hood and and look when you bought it.
Since your car died at 130K+ the previous owner must have done something right

As usual, Rynberg smacks the nail on the head.
I want to emphasize that you *need* to keep it under 10psi or else your new motor will pop for sure. If your wastegate isn't ported, a full exhaust will cause your boost to go higher, and the boost controller won't be able to do anything about it. I agree that if your boost doesn't stop at 10psi, you should install the stock cat or consider adding some other restriction to the exhaust.
If your boost goes higher than 12psi for any reason, you are really risking blowing that brand new motor. That's the hard limit for a stock ECU and injectors.
When you get the PFC the same issues will exist - with a full exhaust you have to be careful that your boost can't/won't/doesn't exceed the boost that the PFC was mapped for.
