You can shorten the actuator arm which will cause the turbo to spool slower and possibly reduce your max boost.

you would actually lengthen the actuator arm...but this causes more lag.

you can also use the carb spring method which i heard is pretty good...thats what im going to be using. check out homemadeturbo.com. there is a lot of info about this topic there.
