External Wastegate

Hey i was wondering if anyone knows the stock setting of a AUDI 5000s turbo... My friend has an External Wastegate from one, and says i should use it. I plan to use a boost controller to set the psi anyway, but i was wondering at what level it comes at stock

I am not sure the PSI they are set to.. but keep in mind with a boost controller you can not go lower than what the wastegate is set to...(let's guess on the audi 10-12psi? i dont know) You can only go higher.
