I presume you have half a hole preload on the actuator?

Try another actuator or amal valve, but the valve will need the same jetting if it is correct for your spec at the moment

i have noooo idea, i'll have to check that

alex had his IAW hooked up on the way home yesterday doing a data logging session as we noticed on my monitor that i was only getting 17psi on the way up to pod so we wanted to check to see what was going on and he also noticed that the boost control didnt seem to do shit so i thought it might be worth checking that as well!

i wanted to get it sorted before i go to MAD on the 5th of july
