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 :(

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
