the way the solenoid is setup won't really make a difference. above 4500rpm it will let a TINY bit of air through into the intake, but it wouldn't cause this problem.

take the dump pipe off and have a look at the exhaust wheel, and take the intake pipe off and have a look at the compressor wheel. also pull the cat out and see if it's blocked.

If it was my car, i would be looking at the boost controller first. I doubt its an exhaust blockage, if your car was running 12psi before and you had a smash it wont just magically block it and restrict your boost to 7psi.

Personally, i would disconnect the hose that goes to the wastegate actuator, put a screw in the vacuum line so it doesnt leak and take it for a VERY CAREFUL spin. The car would be running open boost and if you just floor it it will spool up to 20++psi and you will most likely smash the rear wheel off, but you can control boost by throttle position (as you would of noticed during daily driving), so take it for a spin with the gauge connected and see if you can SLOWLY accelerate and get the boost up around 10-12psi. If it spools up fine then its the boost controller...

ok i disconnected the line to the wastegate actuator and boost when up passed the 7psi mark, but soon as i got to bout 8-9psi a loud squeal came in, sounds like belts slipping but my guess is that its a boost leak, that right? since i put my cousins boost controller on and it didnt make a difference i no its not the controller and i no its not the turbo or exhurst so its must be piping for the intercooler or even a dud intercooler???

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
