When I got my car I was told that it was bone stock. However, my friend swears it has an adjustable wastegate. It does have a threaded rod and some nuts on it. How can I tell if it is?

Sounds adjustable to me.
Loosen the nut, pull the rod off the arm and shorten it to increase boost, lengthen it to decrease. ;)

Yep, you have an adjustable wastegate. I guess that would make it less than "bone stock". You could also take a look at the chip in the ecm to see if it has an upgrade.

Are you concerned about it being 100% stock? If so, it should be easy to pick up a stock wastegate.
