Didn't the wastegate springs have paint dots on them indicating tension? I can't recall off the top of my head, but I think there was a paint color code on the spring like green/purple/red or something. There is also shims that can be added to the spring. Check all of the vacuum lines to the diverter valve and make sure there is good clean passages including the diverter valves functioning.
