Setting up MBC

I just acquired an MBC+A for my '97 2.3T. The gist of setting it up is, first set up the MBC (ball and spring type), then set up the +A part.
Trouble is, I've never used an MBC before so I'm a bit clueless.
Is there a good idiot-proof procedure?
My guess is that I need to set it up as high possible, but so that I can't hit the fuel cut-out no matter what I do (assuming I don't get any detonation before I hit the cut out, which seems to be the case).
Is there a direct correlation with the non-Aero turbos between the amount of boost and the RPM? It seems to me that no matter how I adjust the MBC, the peak boost above about 3000RPM is pretty much the same, at about 15/16 psi - I am wondering if this is a limitation of the turbo. In other words, do I need to concentrate on adjusting the boost at low revs? At my current setting at low revs, if I open it up quickly, the boost shoots of the top of the guage and I hit the cutout.
Any advice appreciated!
