Ok I just got a boost controller and boost gauge to put in. Both second hand so no instructions. However, I do have a pretty good idea where to put what.

However, I'm new at this so I wanted to be absolutely certain of where to put what. Can som1 pls take these pics and draw on which to put where?

As you can see - pretty much stock RB20 (in this area) with FPR attached. Want to install a Dual stage boost controller (the little T valve) and the gauge.

Do I need to remove the stock boost controller line (in pic3?) or just cut that and put the gauge into it?

Thankyou so much

Would love to get a pik for you, but the VL with the RB is long gone and i have no piks of my brothers 32 that would help you. I can try to explain it, the wastegate actuator is the goldy coloured thing on the side of your turbo. It has kind of like a mushroom head (the hose that you want comes from that) with a long metal rod connecting to the exhaust housing of the turbo. Theres only one hose that comes out from the actuator so it should be pretty easy just to "T" it into there. Hope that makes sense :(

The wastegate actuator is located on the turbo. Here:

Looks like this and have a small black hose connected to it. Connect the solenoid for the boostcontroller on that hose :(

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
