I read that shortening the rod gives very strange boost spikes because of the 'length' of the rod being shorter has something to do w\the natural motion of the wastegate and the spring in the diaphram. I know kevin k. mentioned something about this and I read it online as well. I also read that the best way to achieve more base is to add springs. So what I did was buy springs from kragen, hooked one end through the hole where cotter pin was and the other on the line that feeds the turbo. I kept bending and cutting them until I got 8.5 psi baseboost. The difference is amazing compared to 5.9. When the wastegate opens, it is not as abrupt as before. This also does not affect the apc in any way. My wastegate is over 170,000 miles old, so I know it was tired. My car holds at 18psi w\no knock at all. And, people stated that if you did this(turn rod which i did not) that it would raise max boost. That did not hold true for me-it's the same as before.
