didn't even need to replumb the actuator, the actuator is the problem.
I could move it by hand but it wasn't exactly smooth. I think when it gets hot, metal expands and the slight roughness in the actuator movement is causing it to stick.
As I still have the heat shield on, when I have been moving for a bit, the airflow cools it down and it works normal again.
When I get paid, looks like i'll get a new actuator off ebay.

One final question though, now that I correctly adjusted the actuator rod, I am boosting slightly more. I am now getting a momentary spike at 1.2bar, then dropping to 1.15 bar. There is no fuel cut and the AFR gauge still says "rich" when this happens so I assume the 1.2 bar spike is ok ?

And looking on ebay, would this be ok? and does it need to be 1.2 bar as that is what I am boosting to ? :-
