Thanks to you both, all makes sense now.

Just one last question, honest - I'm assuming that with lock pin taken out and the arm lifted off the pin and lock nut loosened you must then turn the end of the arm (the flat bit with the hole) to tighten i.e. make the rod effectively shorter and hence increase pressure to open the wastegate?

Thanks - I'm a slow learner
Now I've got a handle on this I may also check the accuracy of my dash gauge after the full review of the intercooler-turbo pipes *slippery slope*

Brilliant, the boost gauge does actually point to the temp gauge in the video! I'd be scared of something popping.

Would be sweet to get a decal to stick boost readings above the reading bar just like the fuel gauge shows,,,,plus this has has confirmed my thinking on low boost from my turbo change

This is a helpful page. Ive got a supposed rica ecu in my car but it boosts to around the first picture. Where should it be, what psi is it supposed to be set at? Ive got a boost gauge coming to check against but tbh it does feel unimpressive atm.

It should be hitting just about the end of the white section which is approximately 1 bar/14.5 ish psi

Hmm, well that doesnt sound good. But thanks guys
Ah thread revival - I never had to adjust my actuator arm in the end, new vacuum pipes all round, that horrible left hand inlet side rubber elbow replaced and a new BCS means that now on full boost in 4th gear my needle is just at the end of the white section, which is spot on for the Oblark mapped ECU (15psi).
