Alright. Got it set to 9 bar. :) I may need to buy a new OPV 'cause I cut that spring a bit too short, and part of the threading broke off due to brittleness. I can't believe how crummy it's gotten when it's only 5 or 6 months old.

Hi JDHarding Are you still having trouble with the OPV on the machine. I have opened my OPV up and have not been able to reduce the pressure much and am getting bad spritzing with the VST baskets. Also , do you believe an offset is required for the temperature, i am not convinced all is as it seems. Cheers Vik
