Found these earlier today when playing online. Apparently the guy is in the UK working on a 200SX 1800cc K's. Good pics as well.

People usually don't do that as a boost controller, but rather for weak springs in the actuator.

Why be ghetto when an HKS wastegate actuator is only $100?

Just remember that with the HKS actuator you can't turn down the boost any lower than 11psi. Just a little reminder...

ditto! I've had mine for awhile, but I didn't have any way to deal with the extra boost. Now I do, but I don't have a motor! hehehe
