Correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding of the amal valve is that it variably bleeds off pressure to the set boost level. So, with standard amal valve and ecu setup, no matter on the length of the actuator rod, the amal valve will control the boost by variably bleeding off the pressure to the wastegate.

Therefore if you use no amal or bleed valve, you will only achieve minimum boost/maximum lag, as the wastegate will open far too little/early.

eg. A bleed valve bleeds off a set amount of pressure to "Fool" the wastegate and make it open at a much higher pressure than normal, although it's still receiving 8psi (-31) or whatever.

I may be getting the complete wrong end of the amal valve stick but I'm just looking at it logically.
