Default in need of stronger internal wastegate, anybody?

does anybody know where i can find a heavier internal wastegate for my aps single turbo kit, i think i have a 6 or 7 psi one now but i want something heavier. my mysterious boost loss issue was partially resolved my tightening the actuator rod all the way down but it seems like the issue is coming back. i think i just need a heavier wastegate. any suggestions guys?

I thought torquefreaks was supplying the upgraded ones for the APS TT kit. Check them....or call Garrett.

torquefreaks does sell upgraded actuators set to a base boost of 10psi.
I bought two for the TT;however the pull arm may need alteration for the ST use.

kinda looks like it will. The waste gate throw between the TT and ST are similar.
