More boost dont remove the line a wastegate is always going to open to the size of the gate spring so if its 12lb its never going to be lower with the bc you can get it higher only

i really suggest you dont pull the line from your wastegate. without that vaccum signal, the wastegate will never know when to open, so it wont. bad things happen then.

essentially, you aren't going to be able to lower your boost under the wastegate spring rating. buy a new spring

just buy a new wastegate spring, removing the wastegate line will cause "overboosting" aka your wastegate will not be pressurized and will not open.
