well after a bit of bad news from power engineering after the last power run about the way it held boost (or the lack of it) i set about trying to sort it out. knocked me up an external actuator spring to try and stiffen it uip a bit, and finaly fitted a boost guage. previously it was holding anywhere between 0.5-0.8 bar of boost (managed to hold 4psi on the rollers on one run ) now she overboosts to 1.2bar and holds nicely at 1.0bar where its meant to    
some random pics of the things that have given me joy...
external actuator spring:

the new boost guage where the old oil pressure and volts ones were from factory:

bring on the next trip to powerengineering and the pod
