my personal preference is to have the actuator set to a basic road boost level ( mine is 15psi) then a bleed valve/ controller to up it to a higher boost

This is how mine is setup with a lot of help from Andy, Brett, Robert at Avon / MITP and it worked well on the road and track, I had the Actuator on around 10psi then on bleed it was 18psi.
