Dude, don't let others drive your car. It's bad enough if you fuck it up, worse if it's someone else.

Check to see if knock sensor is torqued down too tight, im guilty of that in the past.

With a stock turbo, you can get away with a few kr hits if very brief. My guess is that new actuator is allowing too much boost. Don't do things to change boost until you have a boost gauge. You can even just rent a vacuum/boost gauge and throw it on and drive it in a pinch. A gauge is better long term though; you'll need it!

Could bypass your boost controller and just use the actuator spring...should only give 18# of boost.

That's still probably too much. I'd unhook the arm from the gate and see what it does at wot.
