I've never had a wastegate failure due to vacuum.

Spiking can be a result of inadequate wastegate preload or inadequate wastegate base spring pressure.

A lot of the aftermarket turbos might come with the cast compressor boss but are likely not drilled and tapped for reference.

Also, why the undersized turbo? Lag in modern engines is almost nil with a properly sized setup. You're doing more than choking the top end, your high exhaust backpressue is going to make for an inefficient and underwhelming setup.
