They allow you to adjust your boost, not something you should be playing with yourself though!

What ever you ask your tuner to set it to..... within the limits of your engine.

You would not see any gains, it just allows your tuner adjust your boost.

i think personally as soon as you start uping boost an uprated actuator is essential especially as the standard one is years old an probs not up to the job (imho).
