Car been in storage for 9 months and ive seem to have lost 3 psi during that time. Never had this problem before, could the actuator have gone that weak?
It feels bloody slow at 21 psi compared to 24-25.![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
Seems a bit strange if the actuator suddenly loses 3 psi instead of gradually losing it over the years.
Only thing ive touched is the exhaust that I swapped back and forth for the MOT.

Could be because it's a little hotter than the last time you would of noticed, you tent to notice the boost creeps up 2 or 3 psi in the cold temps, so i'd assume it may lose 2 or 3 psi in the hotter weather!

is there a real difference between say 20psi and 25psi?
the previous owner said he had the boost set "a little lower" to save the gearbox, and reckond its about 20psi. RR@ 311bhp and 330ft/lbs
i was a little disapointed with not getting into the 13's at the pod, 4x4, would this be possible with a little more boost, or would i be better junking the air con, and getting 500 spec cooler?

Removed the actuator today and refitted it and it made no change so will probably adjust it a bit after checking for a burst hose or something. But I guess I would be no where near 20psi if a hose was damage?
Im starting to think ive lowered it sometime last year and forgetting about it.
gingeRS: I feel quite a difference between 21-22psi and the 25psi that it normally runs.
