lengthening the arm will not decrease boost. You can only increase it.

what you should really do is cut the rod in half and theard both sides and put a long nut on it so you can f-around with the boost levels this os how my set-up and it works great

Well, when I clocked my T25 compressor housing it also tightened my wastegate arm. So, I just took a huge prybar and bent the wastegate so it's sitting about .75 inches off the compressor housing. I'm boosting 8psi steadily with only the o2 housing on the turbo and no downpipe. Loud as hell and I love it
