yeah point taken, 2530's are great turbo's. i think at the moment is will stick with the big single because i cant afford to change.

i can afford to fix the tune and engine management and squize in a little more boost. U dont think getting the boost to 15psi earlier will make a big difference? its only at 10psi at 5k?

not sure if the intercooler will make a difference, possibly better response?

You touched on earlier on what could well be a major cause of your problem,in the exhaust valve.

Have you actually checked its operation to make sure its not sticking and causing a major exhaust restriction?

Even better, drop the exhaust and do another run.

wonder what size the rear housing is, cos that boost curve looks very similar to mine with a 1.12 rear housing and a faulty WG.

Hey craved howd you get your skyline badge to light up like that? is that standard? ive only had my line about two months and dosnt do that

Good point about the exhaust, I "modded" my exhaust, by basically sticking something in it filled with steel wool, until I can afford decent mufflers, and my 50 trim won't even spool. Well it does, 3 psi at 4000rpm, and not much more than that. Does the car feel a bit like it's holding back? Try a run through straight pipes and see how you go...

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
