quick question regarding actuator rods, does shortening the rod increase or decrease boost? ive got 3 psi to play with as the limit for my chip and injectors is 18psi and as im only at 15psi it would be a shame not to use it

Shorter = more boost!
Most actuators will only give a few psi adjustment, best bet is a controller although I have played with bleed valves and they certainly work but they're very crude devices.

did you pre-load the actuator m8?
