    Unsure on Setting Actuator up!

    How do you guys usually set them up?

    Its a 98 PreME7 2.3 T5.

    Is it just the usual half a hole business? Or can I pipe up a pump to see what values it should be at?

    Ta!!

    Think it mentions calibrating to base boost mid-way through?

    Ah cheers,
    I cured my boost spiking by adjusting the actuator, now it wont boost as high as it did before!

    Hmph. Is only around 2-3psi less, but the MBC doesnt seem to be doing anything.

    Good stuff - out of interest what kind of gauge/ pump combination did you use? What pressure did you end up calibrating it to?
