You have to run a wastegate on your system if you want to contol boost and not overspin the turbo.

IF you are that much in a bind with cost for the turbo system i would look at another turbo with an internal wastegate. There is no way i would build up a turbo system then have the possiblility of hurting my turbo and or motor.

You can find used wastegates all over he place fairly cheap. At least get a deltagate (you can find them for 100 or so used)
