I use a bicycle pump like paul does works everytime i get a indicated 12 psi on all of my actuators with a 9 or so psi reading once exhaust backpressure etc are working against the WG as well. I think that is what scot is talking about. Still using a bicycle pump will get you in the ball park, and if you have a real strong nice WG then will tell you exactly what you have. Oh and yeah your Diaphram is most likely toast now. Try it with a bicycle pump and see though :bigtu: just tee in a boost gauge and watch the rod in relation to boost.

who gave you that shit advice? lol Sorry if I was in any way responsible for your misfortune. That's the way I've always heard of it being done. :confused:

no i think i had already tried it once before today, i just had forgotten what had happened, and i'm pretty sure that the first time i didn't turn down the pressure after taking the seats out with the impact wrench :td:

alls fair though, i looked like shit when i tried to drive your car with that damned clutch
