So although I have no actuator to test Ive "built" up my actuator test rig.
Basically its an old tyre valve jammed inside a length of poly pipe that I can then connect up to a hand pump and Ive got a good one as I used to race at a national level so I trust its gauge.
It is boost tight now (needed superglue on the brass) and holds pressure so if I pump it up to 30psi it stays at 30psi.
Ive used it to test my boost gauge that alot of us (myself included) thought was under reading as was only peaking at 18psi and after testing it would appear to actually possibly be over reading. The boost gauge shows 32psi with the pump sat spot on 30psi
