    Also agree with chris, go with a cdti airbox, its a crossover delete box and avoids all the heatsoak which kills all the power in these engines.
    Fair enough. I wanna sort out the boost issue before I do any more mods to it anyway.

    No dash lights coming up. I have no idea about the actuator. Sadly, I'm about as mechanically-minded as a pelican.
    Well, pelicans are actually quite smart and they can scratch their balls with their nose. Aaaanyway, standing in front of your engine, looking to the tubocharger, there is a cannister looking thing with a small rubber hose coming out of the top. Bottom has a rod with thread and 2 nuts holding up a lever.

    sort of looks like this;

    South is just as bad as the North in some areas. They don't call Port Noarlunga "Salisbury by the sea" for nothing, lol.

    Yeah I've seen the actuator, but I have no idea how to check if it's working properly.

    As for the pelican, if it was as smart as you say, it would have shut up about being able to scratch its balls with its nose. Not exactly 'resume' material...

    hihihi.

    just check if both nuts are tight and count the threads sticking out on bottom of the rod. Just a rough count will do (scratch with your nails and count). If nuts are not done up properly, in this case too loose, your boost will be too low as it'll open too soon from boost pressure alone if there's no pre-load. Would be good and easier if you had a boost gauge. Hope for you that its that simple though.

    Yeah was planning to get a boost gauge anyway. Will see how it goes after the rbcs bypass. Fingers crossed!
