Default overboost

Lo ppl ,

I found my turbo isnt really kicking in until 4000 rpm, and it is also overboosting, could it be dodgy amal valve or actuator? , I was thinking of junking the amal and putting a bleed valve in its place?...

Also water has been coming out the top of the header tank under pressure, but it was overfull


any ideas at all

thx peeps

I wouldnt put a bleed valve on there if you have a problem, because thats just by-passing the problem, deffo get it RR, then whoever does that for you will get it set up, if its standard, might need a new actuator?
