cut your wastegate line in half buy a T fitting. Connect the hose back together.. Then run some more hose off the end of the T fitting to a adjustable valve... Then you open the valve for more boost or close the valve for less boost...
Easy cheesy lemon squezy

That one is too in depth....

Just cut the hose in half, buy a plastic T fitting.. Then run some more hose to a adjustable valve... Done.

ummmmmmmmm, actually, that wouldn't do anything there would have to be some type of valve inside the 't' to restrict the air flow going to the wg. by doind like you said, it will flow straight through the 't' like you had done nothing at all.

An adjustable valve..
You get them from home depot... They go full open or full close or anywhere in between.. By barely opening it you get a small raise in boost.. Fully closed is stock boost..
The more you open it the more boost you get...
So don't me... Im not dumb

the way you described it WILL DO NOTHING AT ALL!!!!! you really don't have to explain to me how a boost controller works, i promise. putting a t between a vacuum/boost source and your wg, and then running an adjustable valve off the t will do nothing b/c the valve won't be going to the wg the way you describe it. in all actuality. you don't need a t, you put the adjustable valve (boost controller) in line where you said to put a t.
