Tips on wastegate adjustment?
Im going to add about 3 turns to each of the rods, shooting for 9psi cracking pressure.
Only thing is I dont have a sweet clue how to physically reach the nuts.
Any tips on how to approach this would be appreciated.

9 psi is too much.......should only take 3-5 psi.
Reaching the back nut is pretty easy, by just dropping the subframe a little. Getting to the actual adjustment nut will take some skill. You may want to get a nice set of crows feet, but I'd recommend not touching them, FWIW.

with the n75 unplugged i get 6-7psi
but im still tapering. I dunno, could be my first crack at the tune.
With the larger exhaust turbine i have, this shouldnt have been a problem.
I suppose i should have mentioned im running k04/rs6 hybrids?

easy way to reach the nuts........
you can get the rear nut on the rod from under the car. loosen that one first. Then you can hook an air compressor up to the lines going to the wastegates from the engine bay. Set the regulator to about 11psi and that will open the actuator rods. Then you can just spin the second nut on the rod instead of having to turn it with tension on the nut. Make sure they are adjusted equally though.
