Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Ok guys, I've tried all of the different ways listed on this site to disable the HY wastgate (22 shell, springs, wire), but I have found a fix that takes about 2 minutes and can be done without getting under the truck.
You will need:
1 - 4. 5"-6. 5" spread turnbuckle w/a loop on one end and a hook on the other
1 - nut and lock washer to use as a jamb nut on the turnbuckle
1 - s-hook (or bent 10p nail)
Put the jamb nut and lock washer on what ever end of the turnbuckle has the standard threads.
To make the install easier, remove the intake hose that runs between the turbo and the air box.
Put one end of the s-hook through the looped end of the turnbuckle and clamp the s-hook so it won't come off.
Hook the other end of the s-hook on the lower side of the wastegate head mounting bracket, next to the compressor housing (between compressor housing and wastegate head)).
Hook the other end on the flat wastegate arm on the turbo side, as close to the actuator rod as possible.
Tighten the turnbuckle until it is snug and then tighen the jamb nut against the turnbuckle.
Re-install the air hose to the turbo and airbox.
Thats it! Takes about two minutes to put on and take off! Total cost is less than $5. BTW, DON'T do this while the turbo is hot

With my EZ, I'm now seeing 30+ psi of boost (guage only goes to 30 psi - time for a new one!).
If any of you guys try it, let me know what you think.
