take it over the other side mate, thats why they give you such a big hose. Keymaker33 is right, thats the one i was on about. just cut in the middle with sidecutters and put t piece in, then run the hose over to your controller and then from controller to wastegate. viola.

put cable ties or clamps on everything so it looks/is secure, if you lose boost through a leak it will affect your fuelling as your teeing off the fuel system's signal. Its not hard but just do it right.

********* edited by Beer Baron. not adding anything mate. please refrain from throwing the boot in as tempting as it may be. enough people have already explained what the problem is, and how to fix it. the insults don't help. ***********

u idiot, if u leave the hose disconnected ur running unlimited boost!!

no wonder the boostgauge is off the scale... connect the hose to the hose between the throttle body and BOV

LOL the dude dusn't know, no need to call him an idiot.... The picture you first circled where you had a massive (IS THAT WHERE?) The answer is yes its easiest to get to and its a vaccume pressure hose so it'll be ok. Make sure you have the bleed valve or whatever your using pointing in the right direction aswell. And then leave the boost controller closed completely cos its a time bomb at the moment.

Open the rest of your car up as in full exhaust pod and all the little things the maybe turn it up to 10 or around that, when you get your ecu then go even more until then dont be guessing with motors cos it can cost you big $$. I'm sure alot of people here have learnt the hard way... you dont want to do that unless you have money falling out of your pocket... if you do can i have some? lol

LOL, thanks guys. I've made the connect and yes now its boosting to lnly ~7 PSI so thats all sorted.

I'll take her for a drive tonight and make sure its performing as it did with the stock cooler otherwise ill need some suggestions on how to check for vac leaks.

Hahaha must be one of those rare 'mint' trees I've been hearing about. But you can only pick em when they're ripe, otherwise it'll just turn out to be a forgery. hahahaha

Yea umm... the only money tree's growing in backyards are MARYJANE plants.... but if you really do have a money tree or a mary jane plant at least give us some seeds... :ninja:

this is a message from your friendly moderator. the next person to point out this guys mistake, or call him an idiot get's a warning. he already knows he ballsed up the installation. help the guy solve his problem if you like. if you don't want to then just read and don't post. simple :laugh:

I apologise for my harsh comment, but please, people that buy turbo cars and that even THINK for a single second that they are going to do the modding themselves should know something as simple as this.

Accepted mate. I did know about running unlimited boost. I just didnt know where to connect the controller to. Should have used some common sense.

Anyways, the car SEEMS to run a little slower but im starting to think its not, because the cooler has acted like a buffer and i dont feel the boost kick anymore.

Anyone comfirm that theory?

some people say you get a bit more lag with a cooler on, but im not sure i beleive that. ive done a few and am yet to notice. I usually do cars that have already got exhausts etc so maybe your still hanging on that restriction and have just increased the inlet tract, which would cause lag i guess. you are definitely right that you lose a bit of response fitting a large intercooler. before anyone says its not that big, have you ever compared it to a stock one? they are about 6X the size including end tanks and extra piping too.

are you talking slower in general or slower boosting time from 0 > +7 on the gauge measured in seconds?

The cooler is 600x300x75, so about 4x bigger in length than stock. I've g-teched my car when it was stock and got 134kW, but ive yet to do it with the cooler.

I THINK it is just as fast but it doesnt feel like it because its lacking the "kick" it used to have, so i wont know until i g-tech it again. Its definately caused lag, approx. 500-800 rpm extra.

Time for exhaust and dump pipes.

Edited by N13Astra

get a front pipe and leave the dump standard if you like, thats wot i did in my case.. and the midrange has improved and the note at high RPM is way niccerrr.. iv got a from dump -> 3inch front pipe -> 3.7inch rest through. I get 10psi on my "hi boost mod" and pulls hard to the redline :) iv got only a stock cooler so yer..

Its best if you change the stock dump pipe as it is very restrictive. It'll give you a much better pull through the rev range.

I've found this out when changing my own exhaust. I took some comparison photos in this thread.

Thats excactly right! If you leave the stock dump pipe its being restricted regardless so for under $150 even under $100 these days you can get a dump pipe which is the #1 mod i personally think anyway...

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
