IMHO i would not fix it...

i know i probably shouldnt say it as i need tol sell it...but fark it

the only time it woul be good to fix is if someone wanted to make it into a project - have it sitting in a garage and do it piece by piece as a boredom breaker...

i started this thread to use this whole veh for spares, which i thought was a good idea for someone with a fairly stock 32

but if people are interested in actually fixing it, the insurnce assessor reconed about 10k to fix...so i think someone that knows what they are doing, knows who to buy from and has the time one their hands, could probably get it done for $8000 - $8500 (if not less) at a rough guess...

am contemplating taking parts out to make it cheaper...as follows

- without the turbo $5500 ono

- without turbo and gearbox $4800 ono

-without turbo, gearbox, bov and rims $4300 ono

(if the rims arent sold with the car, then arrangements must be made by buyer to have a set of rims for the car for transporting)

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      At least, according to this study.   https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60983144/study-loud-exhaust-psychotic/

      Water pump replacement - Sydney region

      By sonicii · Posted

      There isn't that many cars yet that are using electric coolant pumps, but they are slowly becoming more common, especially in the euro brands.  back in 2009, they were quite rare, pretty much all were either timing chain or accessory belt driven. That said, the VQ37VHR isn't an uncommon engine, so any decent mechanic should be able to replace the water pump.  I don't live in NSW, so can't make any suggestions.

      Can someone tell me what this part is for? Someone duct taped it.

      I do not think that the return pipe could be the cause of your particular troubles, unless perchance it is leaking in a lot of unfiltered and unmetered air (assuming your ECU is still using AFMs). And then it could be very bad, but it shouldn't prevent you making boost. Blow then engine up from running lean? Sure. But it would make boost. You really needed to disconnect this thing from the turbo inlets and close those inlet ports off a year ago, and you should do it now.

      Pressure Ratio = 2. ie, 1 bar of boost (assuming 1 bat absolute pressure at the compressor inlet). This is relevant because compressor maps do not have "boost" up the y-axis. They have pressure ratio.

      Revisiting this thread again x2... 1 year later. This car has been an ongoing project between life. But, I never removed the re-circ pipe. I know, shame on me. But since then, i took it to get tuned and only making about 280hp (lame) and i'm chasing a boost issue where the car wont boost past 7-8psi. Mac valve installed. Haltech Platinum pro with the map sensor.  This is the first time i've tackled the turbo side of things, but i have that side somewhat taken apart to chase the waste gate vacuum lines. And noticed this stupid pipe again. I'm peicing together the puzzle and @GTSBoy mentioned that it was a big vaccuum chamber and said a bunch of car math stuff that I couldn't quite follow the car math (im trying). You guys think this would be the culprit? between rotting vacuum hoses?  i'm making a DIY boost leak tester this weekend.
