Hi guys just a quicky. My car was tuned the other week all set up and running fine on 16psi, with this tune i had a K&N filter inside the engine bay, now the other night i thought i would extend the piping and put the pod outside down near the front spoiler. So i would get better air flow to the turbo, it seems to have work as i have not really lost any power but now it is now showing that i am only running about 12psi is this because i have moved the air filter. If so what should i do just turn the boost back up or should i take it to the guy that tuned the car get him to turn it up and check it i am running wolf3D and have all the bolt on bits thanks any help would be great it just seems a little weird to me to lose 4psi

i'd start with re fitting the old filter system.. if the boost returns to where it was it could be your new system is a restriction.

if so setup a cold air feed from the guard instead of sitting your filter out in the open.

Maybe your boost controller hose has come off slightly or something. Check all your hoses because I had a similar thing in that the power still seemed fine but it wasn't reaching the right boost so I upped the boost and blew the engine. Turns out the boost was right but the boost controller didn't know it.

so do you have a boost gauge? or are you seeing this BOOST displayed on the wolf screen?

I know you said wolf is controlling the boost, but where are you seeing the reading?

The post above you says he is reading boost from the wolf 3d hand controller.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
