I'm still running my car standard at the minute.
hence, still using The ecu and boost solenoid.
But it's only running at 4psi all the time, and dont hit the 7psi After you reach 4,500 rpm or so.
Anyone know why ?
Also, i while back i saw a post on how to adjust the boost by using a bleed valve. could someone please send me that link, as ive searched with no luck :(

Thanks alot :)

Disconnect the pipe to the ECU and block it off. Disconnect the boost solenoid and block the pipe.
Wind the threaded adjuster on the actuator up a few threads, then test drive. Continue adjusting till you get the boost you want. Done!

Thanks for that Tom.
Thought i was meant to use a bleed valve, but guess not :)
Is the actuator easy to adjust while the carb is in place. as there is a kind or
C clip that you take of first right ?

Thanks alot. :)

Hi,
Yeah take the clip off first. you can use a bleed valve but the actuator is a better way, but you can't adjust it while moving.
