Ok! Thanx sewid, Mark

Thanks 51, U R quite right there 51, but sometimes, if u r 'attuned' to mechanics, and not totally silly, maybe the 'suck it and see' concept can work. I was thinking more long term problems that may arrise.....Know of any? Thanx 4 the response 51. RESPEC!

WOW! Thankyou J, seems very reasonable, I may stick it back in tonite...see wot happens. Repec!

Hi All, so i've replaced all my pressure and vac hoses unda da hood, found an interesting device in the pipe that goes from the high pressure nipple of the induction pipe to the waste gate, (the one that is directly attached to the large induction pipe.aprx 50mm length before it 'Tee's' off to boost control). I found a brass 'restrictor' inside this piece of small pipe, so as part of my complete overhaul of hose, I replaced it with a new, non restricted piece of pipe. Can anyone tell me why this restrictor is here, (exactly why?). Power seems more linear, I don't know if I like this, the actual Turbo kick has reduced a little, but still just as quick. Most importantly fellow Skliners, am I doing anything that could be potentially bad 4 da WasteGate/Turbine? "Talk" soon Mark.

Hi PENTAE, ofcourse, it's gtrouse...! Just want it for my own PC.

ummmm...I guess that answers that? Could someone let me in on where to get it, tis me, Mark, the Skliner who originally wanted the trike drifter? Thanx everyone?

Mate...if u can, that'd be awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey ferni, won't that just save one frame only of a multi-framed set? (avi, mpeg etc)????????????? thanx.

Hi Skliner's, just noticed on some of the threads that there are these utterly amazing AVI,MPEG,moving pictures....woteva...being used as Avatars etc. The kid drifting a trike is great...I can't stop laughing at it!! Could someone help me out with this. I think it was 'PENTAE' using this graphic..ace Thanks. Mark

Hi, and Congrats...You have a beautiful machine...as long as the current BOV is ok (and you can tell by sound and the cars consistent power), leave it alone, change your oil with good synth, tighten up/ check vac hoses, save ur money for a true performance enhancer..ie..anything but a BOV!!! The issues they bring are just not worth it, in our cases.... ENJOY and stay safe........

Hi, AutoBarn gave me my money back last nite, (Mike from FTG branch), $358.95 including adaptor)). I'm happy. Now I'll get that proper Boost guage and try that GFB Atmo Boost controller. Thanks for your offer.

Hi, and yes, but both at the same time....But don't think that I won't return that aswell if it doesn't live up to their wanky, bright funky colours Web Site!!! Cheers, I'll go off that nipple, bro.!

UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get a decision from AutoBarn today if they'll give me my money back, if they don't, and you're serious, yes, absolutely!!!!!!!!! private message me ur details...ifurserious!!! (and they don't play ball!!) ACES HIGH f**kIN' ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Thanx......Hey, ur car looks like mine!!! woohooo!

Doing that as we speak.............cracks found all over the place, replacing the spring clip type hose retainers with proper screw type aswell. Best performance upgrade I've done in a while!!!!!!!!!! Thanx Mate! PS. Small actuator pipe that goes to waste gate, before the T-piece, has a bloody restrictor inside of it........see ya! Waste gate small actuator pipe is cracked too!!!!!!!!

oooops!! Sorry Bro, my mouth sometimes works faster than my brain!!! All the best and thanks.

Hi, Just got me a GFB ATOMIC boost controller, but I'm not game enough to install it until I have a REAL BOOST GUAGE. When I do get this (probably a Speco one), where's the best place to take the reading from, I thought of the standard BOV vac line (for ease of installation). If this is no good, could someone suggest a better posi, giving some detail of the pipes you suggest? Thankyou, stay safe!! Mark.

Hi Skline and turbo people. Seriously folks, you can add power to ur car by just checking those induction pipes, all of them(!), under your hood. I've realised that the smallest leak under boost conditions kills our cars. (I'm still learning more and more). But something this sickiningly simple could be robbing your beautiful Skline of performance!!!! JUST START TIGHTENING...and have a great week. Stay safe...Mark.

Hey Moo, factory BOV is a SEALED CAN, u can't really do too much to it, except swap it (?)....with something else that potentially leaks more!!(and will cost u $250-$500 bux) Stick with the (good condition?) standard. I got in trouble with neighbours first hour I had it on!! I'm sure that for 'our streetish' type cars, BOV's are a wank....Jap design is brill, bigger turbo, bigger zorst and clean oil is still the best performance increaser / keeper still...don't you think? Thanx Bro, Mark.

keep an eye on that O ring and 'nipple' , maybe you should 'teflon tape'it?

I used the proper GFB adaptor kit, (Ofcourse you want the best chance of it working), seemed to mount on nicely to the pipe, then the sus bit, you have to install a pissy little O ring inside the BOV base that really seems slack. Between that O ring and the vac nipple i could just see POTENTIAL for leaks...I just was not confident even before turning the key!! Then that bloody 'flutter" and woosh..My little brother loves it, but if someone took my rego down, I wouldn't be surprised. If i was to PLUM it straight back into the turbo and block off the 'trumpet' part (1 of 3 options in the kit), then what's the point of having it......it still leaks..Now the ridgey didge is back on....***** ACE!!

respec! thanks, Mark.
