Should i upgrade my wastegate actuator on a stock turbo?

Im still on my 03 turbocharger with boltons tuned at 24psi. Is it a good idea to upgrade to a 25psi wastegate to prevent boost loss/tapering? Also, are there any faults with the stock throttlebody or should i upgrade that as well?

Its still going to boost tamper, what does your taper to now? Also if your trying to hold 24 psi longer and your running a mbc your going to have a higher boost spike to hold 24 # unless you go hybrid/ 3 port with mbc to hold boost better up top.
