10 turns would be quite a problem! I don't even know if it has 10 turns of adjustment. Luckily 10 turns would never happen by accident. I don't think you could even do more than 1 or 2 clicks (fraction of a psi) by accident. It's just not that easy to spin (it has a detent so it "clicks" as you turn it).
I've found it takes about 4 full turns to go from wastegate pressure (just over 20psi) to my desired peak of ~27psi. It is nice to be able to jump between those two whenever I want (although I never have turned it down in the past, so I don't know if I really will do that now...). I just figured it would be nice for the track in case I want to tone things down a bit on the fly.
Here's another lower shot:
I ran the vacuum lines across the engine bay and through the large grommet in the fender (along with all the other wiring I have done). Plenty of room in there. The MBC was mounted into a hole that was already existing under the dash. I don't know why it was there, but it was a perfect fit for the bolt.
I was a bit worried that the extra vacuum lines would cause problems, but I haven't noticed any issues so far. Spool and boost control seem to work just fine, but I would still like to pull a log to confirm. The only oddity is that you can hear the MBC venting air once the ball/spring opens up (as it should). It's just a slight hiss and by that time the EWG is open so it doesn't matter anyways!

Well, my brother decided to try out some NT05's. They went on his MS3 with stock wheels.
The car they're on:
I have Star Specs on my car, but he figured he'd give the Nitto's a shot. We'll be going to the road course next weekend to see how they do.
