Well was out "tuning" the dtub and brought her for a spin and its now boostin 2 bar.
Was aiming for 1.4 or that. Didnt even think a lucas woul fuel enough for that pressure. And the gauge is accurate.
It was boostin 1.1 and it didn seem smokey. Screwed the actuated about 3 turns and took the standard exhaus off.

It will probably boost even more...just start acting like a hairdryer and then implode!

So what boost will the actuater hold. Will it hold 24 psi or will i have to fit a mbc?

I had my 11mm on my 1.9 for a while as the 9mm was leaking...
Managed to get 32psi out of the k14 with enough fuel but I didnt want to blow the poor bugger up!
