i installed my fmic a few weeks back , i was reading today about something that questioned my opinion.

my piping for the cooler didnt come with a nipple so i taped into the vacume hose off the bov and hooked it to that = now i was reading that it can cause spiking?

what exactly is happening when it spikes if it does ? and am i running a risk having it working off the bov vacume hose?

help would be appreciated thanks

what happened when i had mine setup like that, when i grabbed 4th gear accelerating hard at highway speed, it would jump up to about 14psi for just a second.

then i put the nipple off the stock piping into the pipe from the turbo to the cooler and that solved the problem.

iv been driving a lot and watching my gauge . i noticed that slowly increasin speed during boost it will reach aroun 8 psi . if im close to hitting boost and slam my foot down - she will go to 10 psi - and hold , thats my peak . mind you im running stage 1 mods - fmic , pod , turbo back exhaust - twin split dump pipe , stock boost .

im looking to get a boost controller soon . how high do you recon is safe to go on stock turbo?

hahah dodgy basturd :PPPP..

um might wanna fix that up man.. um, i got the nipple out of my kit, but could proabbly just steal antoehr, and get it welded onto corner of top pipe. i got mine done at TMR engines slacks creek for 50$ :spank: they did it while i waited in about 25 mins.

theres a thread in the forum with their contact details if ur in qld.

    • 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.
