Default amal valve wrongly fitted

hi
ive just put my cossie back together and was about to fit the amal valve back on when i realised because i had marked the pipes prior to removal, that the previous owner had fitted it wrong.
the pipe marked c was going to the wastegate and the pipe marked w was going to the compressor housing!
what effect would this have on boost? as its apparently stage 3 ive looked in the ecu its deffo not a standard chip but isnt marked up with a branded name or anything, it has greens, rs500 cooler, roller bearing t3, 3 bar map but was only running a bar of boost, could this have been caused by the amal valve?
ive also noticed its running a lot more than half a hole preload on the actuator its running about an inch of preload if not more! should i adjust this to half a hole or should i see what its boosting like now amal is piped up right?
i just dont wanna take it out and blow the fucker up after having just refitted the engine lol
