Ive just shortend my actuator rod,by 5 turns=approx 4mm.And me car runs slower than it did before i touched it.Did I turn the nuckel the correct way ie shortening the rod?The car is a new age MY01
Also ive disconected the battery for an hour,then replaced all the bits heatshield intercooler etc,then re connected the battery and gone on test.Should i have waited and let the car tick over for a bit first?ECU was re setting due to battert being disconected i hope!!help.Not happy Yoza

Was going to say thanks for the help,what help.[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
To remedy my slow running car was easy,
I was advised to disconnect the battery again and leave it for an hour.Then re connect and leave ticking over till fans come on.Then go on test,like a different car.My error apparently was going straight out and leathering it!!!
Put a boost gauge on and was reading between 10-12 psi very cheap gauge tho,anyone know what they are standard?
DONT SAY BETWEEN 10-12 PSI PLEASE
Or its 2 hours labour down the pan
Does pull harder tho
