Default shuttin down my boost

hi all, after fixin my boostin problem iv now got another 1! i cannot shut the boost down 2 10psi im not sure what its running as i back off when it goes above 10psi, i did take it 2 20psi but backed off straight away!

iv tryd loopin the actuator 2 the turbo via a bleed valve but that didnt work iv tryd fittin a bleed valve between thw actuatoe and tha amal valve and again still hittin daft psi! only thing i can think of now is 2 adjust the actuator its self but when settin the boost on my frst all i needed 2 do was adjust the bleed valve, so y isnt this workin on my erst???? plz help as its doin my nut in!

any help would b great thanks!

You can adjust the boost up from where the actuator is set with a bleed valve, but you can lower the boost pressure!
You need to slacken the actuator off, im told that half a hold of preload is about right, you can then fine tune it up with your bleed valve, bleeding pressure from the actuator so it opens at a higher boost than its set to.
