Default Adjusting actuator??

Is the above, a viable way to help mod a car, or is it another 'urban myth' that back street tuners used to use 'back in the day'????

I have heard that shortening the actuator arm will allow a slight increase in boost build up. Would 1/2 - 1psi make any real difference to the map?

Any experts want to share their thoughts??

Given your turbo''s propensity to creep I would leave well alone as it doesn't just affect spool up, unless you want to remap again of course as we would need to redo the boost dynamics and hope that it stayed in bounds.
