>For a non electronic adjustable version, put a needle valve or
micrometer valve in plave of the solenoid valve.  For fixed boost level
(but quickly changed) use fixed orfices.  I use the little plastic
"snubbers" That Ford used in their emission and vaccuum lines.  They
look like line splices, but they actually have precision brass orfices
inside.  They come in various sizes and are color coded.  All you need
is an asortment of these and a plastic tee. (Free at the salvage yard) 
Restrictions, and  hose size, to the wastegate affects its reaction
time, so make sure this side is big enough.  Also the bleed off path
will become a vaccuum leak, so use a check valve (also Ford salvage)
before the boost control parts.
