slide highflow, no idea on how long but probably not that much long... they said they had to 'modify' the wastegate actuator (ie bend it) so it would shut the wastegate fully, maybe thats still a problem, is it really that bad?

It isnt thaaaat bad (Well it kinda is)

My turbo was heaps laggy for a little while then it loosened up and came much better

yeah i'm doing that now,

driving it it actually sits on 8psi for some reason before continuing onto full boost, doesnt swing right round like it should?

What boost controller are you using? they can help lag to a degree

In any case you need injectors before you can do anything as they are out of flow at about 200rwkw...not mercury 200rwkw real 200rwkw :laugh:

its funny you say that andy as the more i drove it tonight the better it seemed to be, the turbo did sit for a couple of weeks before it got installed so maybe that was something to consider too?

i just thought that they are supposed to make full boost before 4000rpm.

and yeah yeah, the sheet still says 200 something so im happy :) althought the injectors are out of puff :laugh:

i used to have a turbotech one but they said it wasnt holding boost (although was working fine when i drove the car over to them?) but i got them to show me the dyno data which proved it, so now it has a simple gfb bleed valve conrolling boost.

They also had problems with the wastegate actuator (the one on the highflow was stuffed) so they swapped over my old one but had to bend it to make the wastgate function properly? wierd... hmmm

having a dodgey ass bleed valve controlling boost and expecting it to be 'good' i should come over there and slap u myself :) get a real boost controller i.e Blitz ID3

Yeah when I put mine on it didnt get full boost till 4700 it had been sitting a year...now it can do 1.3 bar by 3300

ur budget is probably alot more than mine, real world example would be comparing nasa space program with indias space program :laugh: (yes i am india!)

Most cases I have seen show the turbotech holding boost pretty well, what more do you want?? Oh wait the pretty screen :) Seriously for medium boost levels a bleed shouldnt be causing too many problems

shane is right, you cant expect to get decent or consistent boost out of a dodgy bleed valve, even cheaper electronic boost controllers will do a much much better job. Go to www.nengun.com and find yourslef a new one asap!

i've seen cases of a screw in a piece of vaccum hose hold boost o.k on higher hp cars but still....an ebc can do more than give you a pretty screen, not to mention safety side of things. I remember when i was driving my car one day my ebc came up with a warning and wouldnt let me boost over .7bar because a vaccum hose had come lose and if i hadn't had an ebc I wouldnt have had that function. It could have saved me running unlimited boost and a lot of money.

yea it should but ebc's arent that expensive and if anything at least you have piece of mind, plus you can change and monitor boost levels from the cabin.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
