a boost controller to increase the boost when needed...
BTW, how much boost can stock internal handles b4
it got ka boom..

lengthening the rod will only make it stuck open all the time... not make it open earlier...

the only way to get it to open earlier would be to change the spring in the wastegate (don't think it's possible to do so on most stock ones)... you sometimes can find another stock wastegate with a lower boost setting, that will fit the other turbo...

Other than that you'd have to somehow produce extra boost to feed the vacum line going to the wastegate.
