This one is cheaper
BD Power - Product: Adjustable Wastegate Kits
Or get a boost elbow if you want some more boost out of your turbo.

the stock actuator will hold quite a bit. I pulled the bigger actuator off a junk turbo and put it on and got more out of it. I believe the big head is a nice product but you can probably find something cheaper easily for an hx35.

You use the boost elbow to limit your boost. It doesn't increase what you have.

is your wastegate hooked up? if it is that banks product won't help ya you need to either cross drill the wastegate or get a bigger housing

^ You sure about that? I was under the impression that the boost elbow limited the pressure going to the wastegate actuator thus manipulating it to open later resulting in more boost for a longer duration throughout spoolup...

You are correct, it delays the opening of the wastegate
