Yea, you can use a few washers to shim your wastgate (im assuming where the bracket bolts to the turbo)... I did it on mine once, and it worked well..
1 washer upped me about 2psi...
I also bent the bracket once, to up the boost. It worked, but you have to watch out not to get the arm crooked, or it will bind.
