    The ultimate ghetto way is to put a "calibrated" hole in the hose going into the actuator. Start small then get larger until you have reached your desired boost level. Allows the air to bleed out of the hole instead of restricting the air into the actualor

    Or one marginally less ghetto set up is to use a fish tank air line tap as the adjustable bleeder which is less than a dollar. Or use a garden sprinkler system dripper inline adjuster. does the same thing as the fish tank gear but slightly more robust.

    Both a well and truly ghetto and considering how cheap bleeders and gated valves are there isn't really and excuse to use one.

    If you're that broke you can't afford $30 for a cheapo turbotech controller or such then chances are you're too broke to afford the extra fuel usage increased boost will provide you
