Is it just a standard turbo on a standard engine? Does anyone else habe this prob with the turbo on the same engine? Just thinking maybe your dump pipe might be causing some probs. I done work on my wastegate for my 2JZ because it is known to be much too small.

Just take your turbo off and attack it with a die grinder :) Just dont grind the hole too big or it wont seal with the standard wategate flap!

I will be doing this to my HKS GT2535 as 14psi is the least i can run with the standard RB20det actuator and no boost controller.

What do you want to run less than 14psi for? :D

im doing it because the standard one does not flow out enough gas so its creating overboosting issues at high revs have wire the wastegate right open and drove car it still overboosts, my engine is no longer standard hence the increase in exhaust flow and my problem

I have done this on many highflowed turbos, and have had good results with gaining better boost control, open up the hole until there is about 1.5mm of metal for the flap to cantact, then blend the inside of the housing where the ehaust enters the turbo as much as possible without giong too thin in the wall, as this will make it more susceptible to cracking. I am a little concerned that it still overboosts with the gate wired open , as it really should hardly make any boost at all.

Dont be weak.. just go external gate :)

Before you go machining holes out just check that the dump pipe doesnt restrict the wastegate flap from opening fully as thats an easy fix!

Otherwise it will be related to the hole being too small and unable to vent the gas's at higher rpms due to more exhaust wheel flow.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
