HKS Actuator
I remember hearing someone say that on a SR motor using a HKS Actuator without a EBC or MBC, you can set the screw at a desired setting(say 14psi)and your turbo wont budge any higher or any lower than 14psi. Because I am still trying to learn more about turbo charged applications and how they function, is this true? I know almost everyone upgrades to an aftermarket Actuator once moving up in upgrades/turbos, but running on a stock t25, is this the case. I am assuming that, that is the reason for the adjustment screw on the actuator, though I am sure it would be a pain in the ass to set considering you would have to set it, drive, check boost, reset, etc, etc.

The actuator holds base boost around 12psi and the rod is adjustable so you can make it shorter.
Shortening the rod should give you another 1-2psi.
Once you set it beyond the base 12psi I'm not sure how solid it holds the boost, maybe someone else can comment on that?
