I am sure that Charlie is waiting for new springs to be made or 
something like that.  You just have to wait like the rest of us did on 
the first and second batches.  Charlie isn't making a really good living 
on Audi Wastegate springs, so we have to cut him some serious slack.  If 
you cant wait, (I know the feeling, I couldn't either) then use a 
regulator on the control side of the wastegate to increase your boost, or 
see Paul Timmerman for his Schrapnelknobben.
