Talking waste gate

Is it a bad idea to pinch the waste gate hose for more boost

Many do it, but if the boost gets too high, it's not helping matters any. The HX35 is only efficient to 35 psi, and that may even be too much, depending on the fueling upgrades done to the engine. Personally, I usually adjust the rod on the wastegate actuator. An adjustable boost elbow works well too.
