hey guys

I've just installed a boost gauge onto my r32 gtst which has pod filter, high flow cat ,and cat back exhaust. Now i know that when u put the exhaust on u can see upto around 10psi.

The thing is my boost gauge tells me i have around 11.25 psi, when we all know that the stock wastegate actuator is 10 psi...so is it my guage or am i missing something here

i have t'd the gauge off from the stock boost gauge line.

anyone know anything about this?

ahh...i see. Yeh i think ur right it must be a "rough" figure mixed in with a lil bit of boost gauge innaccuaracy.

just by the sounds of it tho on these forums people were saying its a definate 10 psi actuator, no more no less.

there u have it people, i have been running 11.25 psi (at least) on my stock r32 for at least 1.5 years and the turbo hasn't gone boom!

I have one of these on my R33 it seems to run 9psi to 5000rpm then 11psi till redline used to do the same thing on the R32 it came off. Any ideas why and yes the 2 stage boost soliniod has been disconnected

cheers

i had the same thing happen to me, only put a pod on my 32 other than that was bone stock it was running 11, kinda dissapointing. then when i put the cooler on it went to 12psi. im not looking forward to the full exhaust next week.......

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
