Yes this is what I'm thinking, and if the actuator rod is adjusted to where it roughly should be I can hear a little rattle, and there is alot of up and down movement on the shaft that go's into the...

So whats gonna happen if I run it like it is now as it feels fine? Its obviously doing the job and it appears to be holding a stable boost only drops about 1-2psi at high revs.

ok update on this.... after watching on youtube how to set up an actuator bar and realising that it has to be under pressure when u connect it and knowing mine wasnt really even at full adjustment,...

Sorry 960kg but if im honest I couldnt quite work out what you mean with the settings...... "For standard setting a rule of thumb is that the hole on the actuator arm should cover the large pin it...

Im unsure why it boosts more in 3rd gear (high up the rev range) than it does in 1st and 2nd though is that normal?

I have ordered a mbc but tbh I would like to find out the problem before I up the boost but if it works then I guess it could just be the boost switch thing near the air filter!

Driving home last night after picking my new s40 t4 up I wasnt very impressed with the power that it was putting out. So I plumbed in a boost guage today and it appears to be boosting at 7-8 psi...

Dont get me wrong I dont just want to turn the boost right up and kill it through the winter thats not what im about! I respect ALL my cars but always like it to be that bit quicker and look that...

What a nice welcome thankyou!! Its a "winter hack" as I run a camper van through the summer along with a classic mini and I cant justify taxing 3 cars etc! I generally like to chop and change cars...

its been pretty well serviced from what ive seen but will be doing the basics myself to make sure its in tip top condition i.e oil/filter fuel filter, plugs and fill it up with v-power. Anything...
