yeah that's right with regards to the preload, but as tabetha has said below you really need to know who's chip it is and the parameters for the chip, e.g. what the idle CO% should be
if its stage one, most will peak at 14-15psi and hold 12ish psi.
if the chip manufacturer is unknown, i would set it up to 14psi peak by shortening the actuator rod then get a fueling check done by someone with wideband. just be careful you dont max out the injectors if your on yellows
a simple set up would do it the world of good, should cost no more than £200.
get the basics done and you should be trouble free, its when these things are guessed you get problems
