Default Actuator preload....

Hey all.

the actuator on my car needs re-set due to it popping off the wastegate of the turbo.

Rather than the old try/fail/adjust technique, id there any way i can set the preload on a -31(4x4 saf turbo/manifold etc) to around 16psi (on the safe side)

Set it at half a hole of pre-load and adjust the jetting in the amal valve until its running the correct boost pressure!
