So today me and Sam are fitting his brand new turbo and I know we have to prime it before starting it up for the first time but the real question is do we have to let it run in at certain psi before allowing it to boost more?

Just crank with the solenoid wire off for 10 seconds which will prime the turbo with oil, I'd personally stick to low boost for the first 20-30 miles or so, don't bother adjusting the wastegate, just don't shove your foot in it and hope everything will be fine, build up to full throttle and between bringing it on boost allow it to cool off so you know everything is OK...
