I would have to say you would be best putting it on loose and get it set up by someone in the know...you could end up blowing your engine if you do it wrong and just take a guess at it..

Dont understand what you mean wind the actuator out unless you mean you have a bleed valve fitted in which case you wind it in for less boost
the actuator arm needs to be made longer but you will need to unhook the arm from the wastgate to do this, otherwise you will damage the actuator.
