Cheers for the replies guys. It is running fine and I can hear/see any leaks. Is it safe just to turn the boost back upto 24psi?

Team HOTHOT!
it could also be the perpendicular volumicity of the moon which has an incoherant disposition of 25.251
sorry
get a pressure test done on the inlet to determine any boost leaks before you start to wind the actuator back in a bit or it could go very wrong.
also, check that the throttlle is fully opening when the loud pedal is fully pressed to the carpet

Hi Guys,
Cheers for the replies. I have tried putting a bleed valve on in place of the amal valve and the most it would let me turn it upto was 19psi. Does it sound like the actuator has had it? How do I go about checking that the throttle is opening fully?
Many Thanks
Dan

Just took it for a quick drive and the boost hasnt changed now its a bit cooler 
is there any other reason why the boost has dropped this much apart from an air leak or knackered actuator?
