I was asked to make this its own thread.
I converted the stock waste gate controller to make it adjustable, was really easy, just grind off the crimp in the middle of the "can" until it gives up the "cover", then carefully grind the end of the rod (spring end) until the spring cap is free.
Thread the rod with a 10-24 die (I went about 2") and drill the spring cap to slide over the rod and presto manually adjustable boost control.
I did anneal the end of the rod to make it easier to thread.

I went from 5 PSI boost to 10 PSI, the EGTs came down about 75 degrees and the GEP turbo engine just seems to be much happier all around!
