Hiya fellas,

I've just picked up a turbotech manual boost controller and i'd just like some pointers before I start. My question is :

Is the pipe i've put a red arrow to on this picture the line to the wastegate actuator?

If so is that where I should fit the turbotech boost controller ?

Thanks very much all,

Howie

So make a cut where the red line is, insert the boost contoller there, and then which line do i bung up?

And do you take the brass piece (pictured on top in photo) out of the equation totally thereby bypassing the solenoid?

You don't have to cut any lines (unless you can't get the old lines off that brass F fitting).

The Brass F Fitting is taken out completely... leaves you with the wastegate line and 2 going to the boost solenoid. You can use either one of those 2 lines for the new boost controller, the remaining line - just put a screw in it to bung it up; make sure it's tight.

PS: I was trying to look for a photo that Zymotic sent me when I installed mine; perhaps ask him for it?

Hiya Stan,

Thanks mate, clear as mud now (hehe). QRI05E just sent me that photo... makes much more sense now.

Cheers heaps, i think i'm sorted out. I'll take some photos during the install and post it up here in case anyone runs into this thread needing help.

So how does it go with the turbotech in Howie?

Gidday bud, lo and behold it arrived last night. i'll stick in the boost gauge first (thanks stan for tips on this btw), then check that it's accurate, then give the turbotech a shot.

I'll grab some pics (maybe a video too) for the R34 so you can do your install when the time comes.

Cheers

Howie

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
