Standard 'actuator' is around 4psi. You can just use a bleed valve to increase to 7psi. In the 13's at last!.. Just |

As above. If you've already got the standard actuator just fit a cheap bleed valve, this will also give you the option to go higher if needed.

Can't a standard one be adjusted to 7psi by increasing the actuator spring rate (shortening the rod)?

I think the same actuator was used on the Escort RS turbo and early Sierra Cosworths, so it must be good for 7 psi without trouble. |

I'm pretty sure they have a 10psi version as standard. It was an easy way for more boost as they could be picked up for peanuts.
