There really isn't any good way to lower the boost on a wastegate. You could try to extend the actuator arm, but then you will build boost slower. Just run 7 psi, 3 ain't ---- and you'll want to up the boost anyways.

Assuming he is running a internal wastegate, if it external you can buy a smaller spring, they have some on ebay but i haven't heard much info on those.
