I wonder if you could hook up a brake bias adjuster from a circle track car to the bolt. I will have to search for an example.

im going to just buy a lockable air pressure regulator, and drill a hole in one of the fittings that is going to the wastegate to help blow off extra boost

The principle is easy:

An adjustable valve regulates boost pressure to the wastegate.

It bypasses air, so the wastegate does not get the real pressure. As a result of that the wastegate stays closed and you get more boost.
A simple fishtank valve can be used for that.
The better versions have finer adjustable increments or are electronic controlled.

I use the forge Munos, it is delivered with two different springs for a fine adjustment and has a very fine adjustment with a ball valve.
