Default Boost adjustment

Might sound a silly question but how do I adjust the boost on my cossie?
Just pulled it out after a month and its not even running 1bar of boost, running a t34.

how much boost does it have to run.

if you make the actuator shorter it will increases the boost. make it longer it lowers it.

good luck.

if you put an override switch onto the amal valve it should give you 2-stage boost,
be careful wen doing it tho as you can inadvertantly wreck the ecu
