Clockwise or anti-clockwise depends on which way you are looking at it 
Shortening the rod will increase the pre-load on the WG penny which is what you want.

Do you mean the adjustable nut like on TD04....is not the same on td05...
unless I've just totally misunderstood?

My car uses a TDO5.
AndrewC instructions are quite clear, plus the above procedure should work on a TD04 as I got one in my garage. Has the same adjustable rod with lock nut & clevis.

how tight is tight
I closed the wg by holding the arm/pin by hand. Then I pull the actuator rod slighty out so the clevis hole fits over the wg pin. Put the 'c' clip back on and test drive. My maxium boost reads 15.5psi on the gauge & thats what it should be on my car. (mapped)

you don't turn the rod at all, just the bit on the end which is secured with the lock-nut.
undo the lock-nut and lossen it by 2 turns. Pop the circlip off the wastgate and pull the actuator rod off. Then adjust the end of the rod until it hits the loosened lock nut. knick the lock nut up tight then fit back onto wastegate and re-fit circlip.
If you have a VF turbo you may not have an adjustment available, I know a VF28 doesn't.
