  8. So this is a spin off, of the topic of the Turbotech Manual Boost controller. Fitting is pretty straight forward, took around 1.5 hours, due to the lack of space getting around areas of the engine bay. Please note, doing this is at your own risk, such as blowing your turbos or your engine. Some people have said, replace your stock solenoid with the boost controller directly, this is INCORRECT as this does squat for the GTR. What you need from supercheap: 1x T piece 6mm 2x straight through pieces 6mm 8x hose clamps 5 meters of 6mm vacuum hose Review of the controller for the GTR 3/5. It had boost fall off, and I can't say, it gated the boost quicker than the stock solenoid. My hoses were cracking anyway, so I used as much new hose as possible. The principles of installing a boost controller stays the same here, you intercept the boost source from the intake manifold that control the wastegates. For the GTR, our boost solenoid controls the boost, and hence you want to totally bypass this. Here's a picture of it installed already: Step 1. Locate the boost source which is a hose coming out of a hardpipe from the back of the manifold. It's opposite the fuel filter, there are 2 bigger hoses there, use the one furthest away from the front. Lucky for me, it was easy to identify and get to, as the last owner had a boost controller on before, he had a straight through connector identifying this hose, use the source FROM the plenum, once disconnected don't worry about the other half dangling: Step 2. Insert a new straight through connector to your new hose and run this all the way from the back of the engine to the right side. You want to use as much hose here, and put the controller as close to the wastegates as possible. Step 3. I mounted the boost controller at the ABS clips Step 4. T piece the wastegates together and connect to the turbotech controller, as said, I wanted to use as much new hose as possible, so I connected one to the closes hardpipe for the inside turbo, and straight to the wastegate for the other. And walla you've finished. Some additional stuff I did was blank off the air connector, and disconnected the original solenoid. So, why did I install this you say if it's got the boost fall off? I'm planning to leave this setup with a turbo swap for later so half the works done. Hope this helps, there's also some information I used from my "How to install boost controller in GTR" thread back a few months ago. The engine diagram is located there. Enjoy!
  9. What's the deal with the apple peel car wash owner?

  11. Attendance list: 1. VSPECT 2. theponyremark 3. GWIN 4. The Ghost of Davie Jones Locker, maybe
  12. How about something earlier? 9pm? Just for a wash, not cruising.
  13. To be fair on R32 Zilla, his price and communication are tops. Just trying to sort out why Garrett and other turbo shops are telling me different things. On my part I should have double checked specifically if rebuild kits were freely available, I only assumed so given we've progressed for far in automotive technology?.... There's kits for everything else except these Just more of a buyer beware, nothing wrong with R32 Zilla's sales as he's probably told different things too.
  14. cool thanks, 040 needs to be remounted? or utilises stock mounts
  15. Hi all Anyone know where I can get a direct replacement stock fuel pump or similar? Which models should I be looking at? I've been reading around and generally speaking Bosch 023, 044 but seems like you gotta make mounts for them? Walbro = crap Nismo and Tomei are not in my goals are the moment I just want a swap out swap in replacement. Cheers
  16. My first bad SAU purchase. The GT28R can't be rebuilt.....sigh. There goes money down the hole...
