Adjustable Wastegate?

I lost some power when I got a factory reflash.DC won't do anything about it.So I asked my dealer to adjust the wastegate to give me the 3 psi boost I lost.They said I was welcome to do it myself,but they wouldn't do it.What do you all think.Has anyone done this?

I got this website from someone on here a couple days ago and it talks about adjusting your wastegate. Basically says that it won't increase your power, but its a good read if you're not familiar with how it all works.

In my opinion, the best way to increase boost on an 04.5 and up is to electronically modify the wastegate signal.
