If it's wastegate creep your suffering from, maybe this sort of thing would help? I forget the name of the type of valve it has in it, but it keeps the boost away from the actuator until it reaches the set boost level. Dunno what the pros and cons are for these.

However, if you can afford an external w/g I'd imagine thats the best way to go.

Yeah I thought as much. I was just using that particular one as an example. BTW what do the hardware stores call them? It's got a ball bearing and spring inside it to act as the valve.

you cannot buy the entire valve, assembled and all at a hardware store. They carry the parts you need, and you have to make it yourself.
