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

The line that comes from the Wastgate actuator, my mate had a redtop eccs rb20 and it was put in between that line. worked nicley, hoped that helped dude, not sure if its differant on the silvertop....

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 :(

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
