was bored at work today, so cleaned up my metering head, and decided to connect my boost gauge up and see what it was boosting at as it felt a bit slow (compared to the cossie anyway!). So went for a drive, and wait for it........








Its boosting at a MASSIVE 4psi. DOH!

SO, can i just shorten the actuator rod to get it up again. The cars totally standard and not been mucked with, so maybe the actuators gone weak? at full throttle, its smells of petrol quite a bit too.

if so, is it 2 turns for 1 psi as cossie actuator?

Cheers!
Mike

 

I had a mega 8psi on mine once Karl had set it up

You dont want big Power S1's............Just keep them Standard

 

so will it be ok to up it to standard then? what was up with yours?

 

I had a problem with my metering head...similar to your problem. So i put a series 2 unit on and got Karl to set it up for me..... He gave me 1 psi more than standard

 

wooooow! amazing boost. Mines running so much better since i cleared it out and cleaned the sensors. Its idleing much better, so im gunna have a go. actuator looks like a twat to get to though.

 

Yer....tis a pain as you have to go underneath

 

it might be that the amal valve's not activating.

4psi sounds right from a standard actuator set up correctly. you acheive the higher boost from the amal valve bleeding off some of the air

check if your amal valve is clicking

 

ok will do.

 

sod that! gonna crack mine round to 2.2 bar when all done and running

 

when would it be clicking BTW? cos you cant really hear it when the engines running

 

The amal valve should click when you turn the ignition on. (just once)

Steve.

 

ok, will check tomorrow. If you put a finger on the casing, can you feel it tick?
