Actuator question
Hi,
Assuming the following.
Actuator is connected to the compressor.
Let's say the actuator is rated to 1.2 bar.
When you run the car and push the loud pedal, would the max boost you see only be 1.2 bar. This is the limit of the actuator yes ?
If you achieved less boost, say 1 bar, would that indicate a problem with the actuator ?
Equally, if you saw more than 1.2 bar, (say 1.4bar) would the actuator be faulty ?

so long as actuator is directly plumbed to compressor housing and it is 1.2bar then you should see 1.2 boost pressure.
if it was higher then it could be a faulty actuator or a split in the pipe.
less boost could be actuator fault or a boost leak somewhere
