Is putting pre-load on the actuator a good way to control boost levels. Ie having no bleed valve just a pipe from actuator to turbo?

Not an elegant way but if it works... Might wear out the actuator rather quickly...
Most professional way would be to get an uprated actuator with stronger spring.![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Also it largely depends on what boost you want to run. If you only want 10 PSI it might be doable with a standard actuator, 14 - 15 PSI is definitely uprated actuator and/or bleed valve time.

The car was currently just set up with a -31 and about 7mm of preload or 2/3s of the hole in the rod. It was only holding around a bar. I put a bleed valve on today and turned it out 1.5 turns and the car now holds around 16psi. Its going for a set-up soon to check fueling so we will see how it performs then.
