Does it have a boost control valve?

Zhidman, early LPTs had a boost control valve (on the radiator, with an electrical connector and three rubber hoses going down to the turbo). This was true at least of early 2.0LPT engines. I don't know whether any 2.3LPT engines had this valve. It seems some of the comments here assume a boost control valve.
If your car has this valve, then the boost is controlled electronically and shortening the wastegate rod won't make much difference, although the car may be slightly more responsive. If there is no valve, then there is no electronic control and shortening the rod will increase the maximum boost, but also increase the danger of damage due to poor quality fuel or high ambient temperatures (where do you live?)
