John, I have a RayJay turbo on my Kr-2 (N54PB 1835 VW), sorry, I do NOT have a waste Gate on the setup. The individual who built the engine, along with help from his Toyota auto engineers who worked for him, sized the turbo housing to eliminate the over boosting problem.
I keep an eye on the manifold pressure when applying full throttle and in the past, the problem was not being able to get enough boost to maintain sea level pressure. I did get more performance out of the turbo once I straightened out the air intake. I eliminated most of the numerous bends and direction changes in the original air intake plumbing. Sounds like I have the similar intake setup as you mentioned, ie the carburetor is BEFORE the turbo. Sorry I am not able to give you any advice about a waste gate operation, let me know if I can provide any other advice to help you get your bird into the air.
