make sure the spring in the dawes has sufficient tension.
eg.stretch it a bit!

not being funny but have you got it on the right way around???

the straight outlet end goes to the turbo outlet and the angled end goes to the actuator.

hope this helps!

Might be worth cleaning the Dawes as well!
Mine was starting to stick until I cleaned it out
