Boost actuator

Hey quick q on the boost actuator or however u spell it. When you adjust the thing so that the lever hits the stop, do you want it just barely touching it when the trucks off, or do you want it pressed down a little further onto the stop? Im thinking maybe that if its pressed to low it wont allow the butterfly to close completely? I just installed my apten blower and the pedal doesnt seem to affect the boost as easilty as it once did, figure i have the thing adjusted wrong. If anybody could point me int he right direction that'd b great.

You want the actuator lever to just touch the stop.

the butterfly CLOSES when that lever hits the stop.

If it's not hitting hte stop, the bitterfly isn't closing all the way

The less downward pressure you put, the more easily you will be in boost under part throttle. So, the question is, under part throttle, how much boost do you want. Rich (Wydopnthrotl) is very knowledgeable about this as he has messed with it quite a bit. I adjusted mine to the stock position after getting my blower back from Apten because I didn't want to be in boost while towing.
