-31 actuator
what way do you wind the rod to turn up the boost? I just put it on and only boosting to 2psi without the amal valve.
cheers

You should make more boost than that even with a -31 wound all the way out, i would have thought
Is it pretentioned etc?

Hello,you make the rod shorter for more boost so turn it clockwise.Ideally you want to put the arm over the wastegate arm so you see half the arm top through the whole.

so you got to pull the arm to get it to hook on the pin?? so the shorter the arm more boost and harder it is to get on yeah?

Which noise? There are some we do like
Don't we?
I got just below 1.4 bar with my -31 today and it's very hard to put it on the pin now... but will have to to woundit up one or two turns more

Dont overload it or you will find huge boost probs at high rpm when the boost starts to climb on its own

At high rpm it tend to fall as you know I have the huuuge T25 under the hood
But I know what you mean and I am aware of that.
Boost-control-wise I am only worried about the boost solenoid - how to check if it does anything? Unplug it? What would happen?
It does this "bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" sound at idle, is that right?
