Default Adjusting boost on a -31 actuator

I've got my S1 booked into AVA for set up tomorrow,now i've been trying to set up the boost before i take it in,i'm running the standard amal valve with a -31 actuator,car is also chipped to remove boost cut,now when i have the actuator set to half hole pre load i'm boosting way round to 20 psi and when i'm screwing the rod out a little i'm getting almost zero boost it seems hard to find a happy medium(i.e 12psi)
Is there an easier way of doing this apart from taking car out,waiting for it to cool so i can adjust,if i apply air pressure to the actuator how do i know when i have it set to 12 psi

Just leave for the set up mate cos you will never get it right without getting the fuel mixture right! so just wait and let ava sort it
