Actuator pressure!
I've just fitted a new air filter and full 3"
Decatted system to my ppp blobeye!
Is there anyway to run actuator pressure, just so I'm safe before I get he map done (after Christmas)
Or does it only really matter when you floor it high up the rpm?

unfortunately if you pullthe pipe off the wastegate and blank the pipe it will run max boost possible... but watching the boost gauge and driving it like miss daisy is sound advise

Thanks guys,
I'm doing this as a precaution really as driving it up the motorway Ect and over taking I need a little boost! So acuator is a good shout

slightly off topic but relevant, so aplogise for the hijack.....
what i dont get is, when the compressor vac line is connected to the boost solenoid, all sorts of boost levels can be achieved, depending on mods etc, but when the boost solenoid is cut out and compressor to actuator is done, only like, 0.5 bar of boost is achieved, right ?
so, maybe im being blonde, but what does the boost solenoid do to raise the boost level ???

bleeds air off..
in very simple terms, if you disconnect the actuator so it see atmospheric pressure you get the max boost the turbo will do.. if you put compressor pressure to it you see the pressure of the actuator spring...
the ecu adjusts inbetween by pulsing the boost solenoid to bleed air away from the actuator or add more air to it...
