Which wastegate actuator?

Hi I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my wastegates.
My car is a 996 gt2 with standard k24s,710N diverters, gemballa 100cell exhaust, manifolds and flash, it currently runs 1 bar but I'd like a little more, maybe 1.1-1.2.
My wastegate actuators are standard at the moment and feel really weak so wanted to upgrade.
Any advice is really appreciated.
Cheers
Neil

These are the best ones I have found. They eliminate the threaded waste gate rod that breaks all the time.

HI,You can turn in the nuts on the factory wastegate rods for more boost...That is what GIAC recommends with their tunes...I had their tune when my car was stock and I made 1.1 peak, 1.2 peak after that adjustment....It would safe you alot of time and money that way....

Really, I never knew that as I thought the idea was to have a new stronger spring in the wastegate to keep it shut longer.
I had though of trying to put some washers between the actuator and mounting bracket to tighten them up but wasn't sure about what the results would be,any idea?

HI,You do have enough threads on the rods to turn them in and you will see the results...OR you can call GIAC to get there advice.....Good Luck
