Ahh yes.  That would do it too, but it doesn't use a threaded clevis
so it's not adjustable.  I like the idea though.  Much cleaner and more
reliable than a spring.  Cheap too.  Boost seems to be limited to about
8 psi right now if I really floor it for more than a couple seconds
which doesn't seem too much.  If I can't get the fueling worked out and
do want to reduce boost, I'll keep this in mind.

It's an internal wastegate and I don't have an adjustable boost controller
of any kind so the signal line is a short 3" piece of 1/4" hose from the
output of the compressor scrollhousing to the actuator.  Not much of a
restriction there I think.
