Default turbonetics wastegate top adjustment bolt *help*!!!

i just got my turbo put in today..wow...omg it rips hard...my friend told me he has a 7-9 psi spring in there and we were adjusting the top bolt like all the way up to see if i boost less for now and it was coo until i guess i hit the freeway and i lost the damn top bolt..not my wastegate has a missing peice on the wastegate..i was wondering what can i use to screw bak in there to adjust boost.. i dont even kno how many psi im pushin right now cuz im afriad that nut it gone it might mean im at the full lbs which is 9 or 10 and i dont wanna be pusin that yet..help me out.. (this is the bolt that u use a allen wrench and like a 10inch wrench to adjust that what i lost)

Just go to a parts store and buy a new stud and don't forget to buy a locking nut. It should be a standard 3/8 coarse thread stud, or you could even buy a long bolt and cut it to the length you need. You could also go to any hardware store and buy a piece of threaded rod and cut it to the length you need. Having the bolt gone won't increase your boost, the way it sits right now should give you strictly the spring rate level of boost.

it should keep it at low boost. If you take the screw up (loosen), it lowers the boost......sooo if you take it all the way up (out) it will just lower the boost even further.
