7 psi is fine for the 1st 1000km, dont go making it swallow heaps of boost before the main and big ends bed in properly or u could have dramas later on...

get your self a dual stage boost controller ..... $120
swithch between 7 and 14 psi .
drop the oil every 1000ks twice , cruise along and give the thing a good flogging every so often (after the first oli change ).
with 510 injectors dont try to run more than 14 psi .
wip out the evo injectors drop in some 720 cc units and off you go to 20 psi , dont bother any more than that , turbo will not make more ...
if you baby the thing too much it will flip out when you thump it .
you have gone to the trouble of fitting good gear in there , thats what its made for , pushing it to the limit ..... :D
go out and have some fun .......

i would also re work that cooler piping.... you have forked out a decent outlay so far , for the sake of some custom pipe work and some decent clamps , larger plenum aswell
also that waste gate seems a little large ,42 mm would work much much better , remember the secret is to match , not biggest is best ...
well done on the work you have done ....

7psi or so for first couple of 1000kms, i like to change oil/filter after the first 500/1000 as there will be metal shavings from the honed bores beading in the new rings.
Drive it like normal except don't maintain a certain rev rage for too long (i.e dont go drivin it interstate but on the flip side dont redline it either.
I look at it that if its going to fail driving it normally (within reason of course, dont take it out drifting bouncing if off the limiter in the near future) then it was destined to fail.
