Ok, just purchased a turbotech boost controller, hooked it up and for some reason, its not goning past stock boost.

Here is a pic before I put it in

And here is a pic of how I put it in, basically I bypassed the stock solenoid

have i done this right? Also I have done the stock solenoid grounding mod, does that have anything to do with it?

form what i can see you have that all wrong, the bleed valve needs to be between the pressure source and the actuator. if you have an r32 with standard turbo you will need to run the line from the turbo to the bleed valve and then run a line from the bleed valve to the actuator, and from memory the arrow on the bleed valve points towards the actuator (not 100% sure on that but should be in the instructions of the bleeder).

if you have any other turbo that doesn't have a pressure source on the compressor cover then run the lin from another source like the line to the BOV (but i would recommend something beofre the throttle body and dont have anything else running from it helps to stop spiking).

hope that helps

Hey i just realisd that mayb its not working becoz of the hose connecting the actuator to the BOV that i put in when i installed my FMIC.

Do u think this will work instead?

yeah that should work

thats not right youve got it the wrong way around

madness, ill try it out 2moro morning. On th instructions, it specifically said tho to connect the one end to the turbo hose and the other to the actuator hose.

Security, in ur diagram, do u also block off the turbo hose? and whats the prefered method to block it? screw?

oops, wasn't actually thinking of the direction as i don't own that brand...just trying to help with the location.

Anyway, block that hose with a screw is fine as long as it's air tight.

I actually used fibreglass re-inforced sticky tape.

Hasn't let me down yet :)

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
