Spotted a white r33 gts-t coming out of caltex servo in cooleman court, sounded great Also a black r32 turning into wanniassa last night.

It doesn't really make a huge difference, but my car feels better after putting it on, more responsive..it's hard to explain... I would say it's definitely worth it, especially if you're planning to do more mods.

No he wasn't that great, just got it back then. He's come to the conclusion that my whole fuel system needs to be upgraded, even though I have a stock gts-t with intercooler, and the problem started immediately after I fitted the intercooler. Oh well, I'll call trojan tomorrow.

Just got a call from the mechanic saying that the loss of boost was caused by the fan touching the intercooler pipe... Now im worried Had to drive out there to explain to him how that's not possible, should have just taken my car back then...

Yes it is actually, I'm not sure if it's related to my exhaust though, its very muffled. I haven't raised my boost at all though. I've been running 10psi since I bought it, and it's been running fine until I replaced the cooler. When I first replaced the cooler, I drove the car without the hose attached to the pipe, and it lost all boost around 3500, so I attached it back to the pipe, and it runs well until 5500 now. I haven't tried attaching it to the bov vacume hose yet, I might try that.

That sounds like a good idea, I might have to get hold of an air compressor. So would you say this is definitely an air leak problem, rather than something do with the coils, or the new nipple?

I've checked all the joins though, and I don't think I can tighten them any more. I couldn't find any leaks either. Is it likely that air is escaping under a tightened hose clamp? Thanks

Unfortunately I still can't find a leak, I've checked all my joins, tightened them all up and tried SECUR1TY's trick. It's still losing power around 4500 - 6500. The car feels great up until then. When it happens, I car feels a bit jerky, and i can hear this muffled/faint bumping noise. :S When I replaced the intercooler, I had to reattach the wastegate actuator vacuum to one of the new cooler pipes using a nipple screw I bought from repco. The new nipple is a bit smaller in diameter to the nipple from the old stock cooler pipe, could this be the problem? I've read that cracks in coils would also cause this behavior, but it seems strange that it would start happening the day after I replaced my intercooler. I have a 3" exhaust and pod, and I believe I'm running 10psi, according to the previous owner (I don't have an electronic boost controller). If this is definitely a joiner problem, I will have to get some t-bolt clamps like Devils_Advocate21 suggested. Thanks for your help.

Ok I will double check all my joins, thanks for all your help. Sounds like a great idea SECUR1TY, i will be trying that.

I just fitted a new justjap intercooler on my r33 s2. The car runs fine, until you reach 5500 - 6000 revs then boost drops off. I've been told that a small leak in an intercooler pipe or join would cause this, but I've tightened them all up, and it's still happening. Is there something else I should be looking for? Thanks

Might as well introduce myself as well I bought my 33 gts-t about 3 months ago. Fairly stock at the moment.
