So you have an aftermarket guage and factory one?

could be a few things, both wastegates stuck open (not sure why that would happen)

big boost leak (but then car should run rough as it will be running very rick when losing all the air after the afm)

if they are ceramic turbos the exhaust wheels could be shattered?

what mods std afm and computer system?

yeah an apexi and a stock guage

both needles dont move a bit no matter how you drive, and even at idle.

ive had a leak before and the car ran like shit and usualy stuff comes out the exhaust

they're n1 turbos and the boost has never been overboosted to a dangerous level

usual mods

cooler

ebc

im just stuck to understand why the guages sit at 0..

well then have u checked where the guages are connected? if they read zero at idel something definatly wrong. are they plumbed in independantly?

you will have vacume at idel, if the guages have disconnected then they see atmospheric pressure and stay at 0 at all times.

i'll go check again now, but they all end up in the same spot near the firewall drivers side.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
