If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

with a bleed valve your current actuator should let you run whatever boost you want. Is your boost gauge ok? try winding it up with a foot pump to make sure its not buggered.

EDIT: Not whatever you want but definately more than 3.5psi.

i assume so as i got no power increase when i opend the bleed valve, it works fine in - pressure and then + when boost comes in.

my downpipe is blowing big time, could this affect it?

close the valve to increase boost? with mine you have to tighten it to give you more boost, but be carefull, sometimes (depending on which valve you have) it can jump right up with just half a turn.

revving it on the drive wont give you accurate boost figures (if any) you will need to drive it under some load

see what that does :)

Don't think so. Check this out:
