Default 2 bar boost... how do i get it?

right guys my 2 wd saph is set up at 2 bar boost.
im currentl using a greddy boost controller to achieve this, but its all over the place and is doing my head in, iv got a -34 actuater on their wound out to as much as i dare and with no boost control it will holt about 1.2 bar!
my question is how can i get this boost without using a poxy boost controller?
air to air injectors? im running l8 ecu with pectel bored
thanks for any info

boost does not always mean power,

uprate the head gasket take all the ignition out and wind up boost.

Be slower and drive like a sack of shit but you will have 2Bar lol.

If the set up is capable of achieving 2 bar, then with a correct actuator and amal it will do 2 bar.

So long as it's healthy yes, there is nothing wrong with the std amal valve, I run one despite my ecu being able to run air injectors if I want, well they aren't actually air injectors, they are CNG injectors, bosch don't make air injectors.

thanks guys.
iv tried a couple of boost controllers now an at pressent im using a Greddy speck 2 or somthing, i keep blasting up and down the bypasses, stopping having an adjust then going again, boost is all over the place. just want my 2bar or near without big spikes or tail offs.
i have a feeling tho that my turbos running out of puff as its only a t38.63, i have rs500 intercooler with big ports and manifolds so.... iduno. i will try ditching the boost controller and using std amel valve setup, il try and let u guy no how i get on
cheers
