Wastegates...MBC, Turnbuckle, Aftermarket

Just curious about what to do with the wastegate to supply more boost. I have heard people say to turnbuckle the wastegate. More info on this would be helpful. I have also heard that a manual boost controller would be a good way to go. Again more info welcome. Finally, going with an aftermarket wastegate like a banks. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

For the 2004 model? Is it a 555 or the 600? The 555 is a mechanical wastegate and all is needed is an adjustable boost elbow, about $20 on ebay.
The 600's are electronic.

Then the adjustable boost elbow will work. But you might also need a boost fooler or a performance box with boost fooling to keep the ECM from defueling and setting the overboost code.
