Your boost controller will override the wastegate. Basically the boost controller interrrupts the air going to the turbo wastegate and fools it into thinking there is less boost than there is. So if a wastegate is designed to let out at 7 psi and the boost controller holds until 15, the boost controller will hold boost until it reaches 15 psi and then let the air go to the wastgate (which will then let go). So you can boost as high as the turbo will flow (and how storng your engine is). Those are the limiting factors to power.
