help setting my boost
 
right i need help with setting my actuator on my car,

basically i had my car set up bout 4 months ago n everythings been sweet (cheers stu) but the other week i noticed i was 2 psi down on boost:wall::wall:
n last week i dropped another psi, so after a couple of checks i have come 2 the conclusion that the spring has gone weak in my actuator,

long story short ive just orderd a collins actuator,how do i go bout setting it up?

i realise it will b a process of doing test on the road but do i extend the rod 2 increase or decrease boot?
:roll:

and can i measure the rod on the old actuator 2 get a rough idea of how long the rod needs 2 be?

cheers jay

Always remember LL, Lengthen(rod) to Lessen boost.
That's the easy way I remember it!!
Set it so that it reads the same as before boost wise, go up the road in fourth, boot it and see what the max boost is and adjust as necessary.
