This is definately the blind trying to lead the blind but I think you can leave the actuator on it's original setting and the boost controller controls the additional boost.

I don't know what the pros and cons of raising or lowering the actuator setting would be...

HTH, CheeRS,

Depends wot boost controller u use.

If using the profec b u can set ur actuator to whatever u want it to be when the unit is switched off. I.e i an going run 1bar actuator when controller is off then low setting 20psi and high setting 25psi when controller is on .just waiting for delivery.
