Wastegate/ PFI kit question

For those of you with the 5spd pfi kit - Are you guys running open wastegate? If so, does it open in between shift?.... Mine opens like that and it sounds horrid. I'm thinking about running a small pipe to flow into the rest of the exhaust. Also, I'm thinking about ceramic coating the entire kit - cost/ benefit analysis anyone?

Are you leaving your foot on the gas between shifts?
