a T2 will do about 18psi but it wont last long, the safe limit is max of 15psi really, but the std actuator wont allow that much, your need a upraded one.

myself, i wouldnt advise more than about 12 psi on a std T2 and thats what i run on a 195 set up

there good mate, ive not had to touch mine, but unlike a -31 sealed unit, you can strip them down and repalace the spring and diaphram.
or if you want a stronger spring , order one and fit it,
