Get a boost controller. Then you can turn up the boost as much as you want.

if you made the wastegate arm shorter, the wastegate is goingo remain open alot or a little depending on how much you shortenned it. if you make it longer, it'll put more tension on the wastegate spring (inside the wastegate) and increase the boost. so you turned it in meaning you shortened the arm, lengthen the arm. a little at a time and keep your eye on the boost gauge, make sure the wastegate has a good boost vacuume source like the pcv valve or the charcoal emissions filter.

if i lenghten the wastegate arm it will hold the flapper valve open and not boost wont it? i always though making it shorted increased it?

Take a pin and poke a couple holes in the actuator line. Poke more until you reach your desired boost. ;)
