bend the rod makes it shorter and lowers boost. drop a boost controller in there if you want to raise it.

Re:How do I control Boost level on an internal wastegated turbo?

The length of the actuator arm is inversly proportional to the amount of boost you will see. Increase the length to lower the boost, decrease the length to raise the boost. Look in the FAQ for ways to lengthen the arm, get a boost controller if you want to raise the boost past "stock" levels.
