Boost Actuator - working correctly ??
just took a pic of my boost actuator with engine off and then again with it on....
im desperatly trying to find why I have low boost and no power... well, have power... just short power... right now im seeing 10psi when I should be around 14-16
does this seem right? i dont really know what its supposed to do

ONLY THING TO DO is take it off and adjust it to make sure the valve is completely closed.
Also, is the gasket leaking?
Did you over tighten it and warp the casing (very doubtful)

iv never touched it before... SC went off and got ported maybe it got bumped in shipping... but iv never done anything to it...
had a thought... i used to have a boost bypass kit on truck when I bought it... found out it was installed wrong... i took it off and am now back to stock... forgot to ever do it again... could that be a problem??? should I install one of those again?? would that cause me to lose 4+ lbs boost??

I hope you have those labeled backwards, because the black "tab" is supposed to be resting on the set screw when the engine is off. When you crank the truck it should rise, then close back down to the set screw while under throttle.
