Guys,

I thinking my actuator needs changing. I've just got her chipped at the boost limit is still cutting in at .8 of a Bar. I've set it up using the bleed valve but every now and then when I'm boosting to just over this the boost limiter kicks in and then wont let me boost past .4 again!

It's a nightmare.

So does anyone know how easy it is to change the actuator? I've got a track day on Saturday and would really like this sorted.

Or is there anyway of adjusting my actuator so that I can run more boost?

Any details on this topic would help me out loads.

Cheers

Chris

It's not your actuator........it sounds like the chip has not bypassed the over boost protection.

what chip do you have ?

Amber told me it was a superchip but the plastic case has powerchips written on it. Any ideas?

I had an Ahmed chip and it had a collins sticker on it...!!

But the superchips generally have it stamped into the casing i thought, mine does.. Blue too

sounds like your chip is not working.

Ask for another.......

it's a power chip but like the chap there said they all do the same thing. Or not in my case. It's been proven by me and Muffking that the chip is ucked so they're sorting it out with the supplier.
