Anyways, so gauge in and it peaks at .7 bar @ 5000rpm(10.00psi), boost kicks in @ 3000rpm. Once it hits 5000rpm it drops off dramatically, at 6000rpm its .55 bar till at red line its at .5 bar (7.00 psi), is a drop that big normal? i can really feel it dropping back once i hit the 5000 rpm to. I have 3 inch turbo back exhaust, on it and will have a pod on in a day or two, was also looking at a $22 boost controller, but.. 2 psi is alot i spose. So is it a timing/maintenance/ecu issue? Any suggestions on what it can be, ill cry if its a turbo recon or something, im 19 and already owe $13000 on a car, cant afford to owe moree

Also another question, this thing develops peak kilowatt at around 6200 rpm right? if boost drops off after 5000 rpm then should i be shifting at peak kilowatts or once i start losing boost

thx in advance, when it comes to turbo's i know nutting :)

umm you would need to dyno the car to see when you get peak power, not peak boost before changing.

umm boost drop off is normal on basically std cars with front mount and controller..

pod will help once it goes in to keep that power. turbo back exhausts make it better, is it a split system?

ahh damnation, it just feels sucked so back once it hits 5k, u get pushed forward in your seat instead of back zz, thanks any wayz, if u reckon its standard'ish, ill try put it on a dyno with that $22 boost gauge, get em to adjust everything for me. Hoping it doesnt cost more than $150 to use the dyno though, im on a budget

my car holds boost fine.. hits 9.5psi and stays there until i let off, and then spikes to about 15 (my gauge is BEFORE throttle body) before going back down :O

and my post T/B is fine.. holds just the same then drops when i let off the go gas pedal :rofl:

Its normal for boost to drop off at high rpm with rb20s. The turbo is flowing more air and is getting outside its most efficient region. And the more air flows through the system (ie. at high boost and high rpm), the more the stock intercooler, piping etc becomes a resistance to flow, therefore more boost lost.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
