Loosen locknut on actuator rod.
Remove pin retainer and pin from the rod end.
While holding rod stationary, turn rod end in towards the lock nut. Try 2 turns at a time until desired boost level is reached. This is going to shorten the rod which in turn delays the actuation of the waste gate. Caution: Don't turn the rod itself or you can damage the rubber diaphram inside the actuator.
Reassemble and lockdown the lock nut while holding the rod from turning.
Don't go over 1100*f and 12lbs. boost with stock headbolts. If you get no results you may need more fuel.

So the same as the ATS system.
Does Banks stake the waste gate rod?
If the rod does not turn easy, I would remove the clevis end and run a tap down in it to clean the threads out.
Otherwise the rod may break and you will be looking for a new actuator.
Unless you have head studs, 10 PSI is all the higher I would go on a 6.9 or the head gaskets will have a short life.
