Default low boost

good morning does any one know why i now have 8 boost and befor i changed the turbo i was running 16 the turbo has been reconditioned no smoke or any slack ect so all good, i put another actuator on supposed to be good and it is a 31, would it be possible to get the pipes on the actuator and turbo round the wrong way or is the actuator dodgy maybe. i hope some body can throw a few ideas my way. many thanks for looking frankie

if you have put another actuator on your now running 8psi then the first this i would do is adjust the preload on the actuator.

Yeah got to be the actuator setting I would have though.

Normal amount of preload is about half the the width of the hole that the pin goes through, but depends what yours was on when it was setup last of course.
