Go to about 21 PSI, that's a good boost to stay at all the way to redline. And your fine, a MBC is one of the best first mods to do.
BTW I learned that when I was new too .

Make sure one of the first mods is a boost gauge if you do not have one.

Try to connect your T to the fuel pressure silinoid line on the left hand side of the intake past the throttle body. That should get you accurate readings.
