What other mods do you have? You are not going to see a big increase until you add more fuel. Tell us more about your truck. Also, check for boost leaks at at all the intercooler and intake spider connections. Leaking up pipes can also reduce drive pressure on the turbo.

Unplugging the red line coming from the wastegate is the only this I know of. You might as well take that banks wastegate off if it didnt do anything and just keep the stock one on there with the red line unplugged.
