Rite here we go:

Car was fine when purchased but was only running 7-8 psi direct, piped boost valve back in & ran approx 1.5 bar (std gauge) but was dropping off boost

Forge actuator ordered & fitted (did ask fir blue spring), fitted direct with 1/2 moon of tension on spring & the result was about 10psi, few turns in & managed 1 bar, so decided to reconnect the boost solenoide & again 1.5 bar but dropping off!

Search found that with boost solenoide connected over 1 bar it keeps cutting boost back to 1 bar do best to go direct??? Correct?

A few more turns on actuator rod & im now approx a whole hole of tension on spring & its approx 16psi

Is this amount of tension ok as im going to have to wind it further in to achive 1.5 bar direct? Or do u thing they have sent me the wrong spring fitted in actuator?

Also seem to have a missfire on boost when cold & car feels like its holding back then going etc (surging when driven held in gear booting it from 2-6k ish)

Ontop of sll this ive noticed a strong fuel smell if revved hard on/off on idle but defo no leaks?

Idears/info as im a cosworth/rs turbo man so dont know a great deal about these. Just wanna get it mistly rite before a rolling road session

Missfire sorted, cleaned & gapped the plugs.

Rest still on the sort/to do list

ok this may be irrelevant but im running mostly cossie sensors on my conversion and speaking to a non-internet cosworth speacilist he mentioned that the boost pipes going to boost solenoid SHOULD HAVE JETS inside this vacuum hoses... is this this true? is this why you boost is dropping off because theres no progession of the boost?

i may sound thick , i am still learing but this sounds like it makes sense and poss cause of my probs too as well as yours
