Are you not able to on an 01? If not, I think you can geta different waste gate to accomplish the same thing.

Here's what I was thinking of:

I don't know really anything about them other than that they exist. I would research it a little more to understand what the side effects might be.

I was able to swap the elbow on my 98.5. Are you sure you can't do the same thing?

01 automatics have a different type of boost modifier than the elbow, they're hard to find but look on ebay they are about $56 new.
