Boost Problem

[ckhawly]

On my R33 Gts-t S2, I have just installed a FMIC, turbosmart BOV, and a turbosmart Dual stage boost controller. Apart from that my car is standard

on the low setting its wont go below 9psi. and on high it is 11psi

i want low to be &-8 psi but the tap wont go lower.

is this due to wrong installation or a boost creep

How have you installed the controller?

Not interested in wiring, only vac hoses.

mate the standard way. Why is there a difference in ways

[ckhawly]

IT was working fine until i have disconnect the hose so i cant install the Cold Air induction box

i put everything back the way is was

That doesn't make sense. Can you explain?

[ckhawly]

I know.... i sorry if im not making any sense... but im not understanding it myself.

it was all working fine

but i got a cold air box from Unique sports .. and i need fit it in

and my dual stage controller is located near the air filter.

do i disconnected the hose and the negative wire . fit the box in and put the controller back in

now the boost levels are all over the place

I can't help you if your answer to my question is 'The standard way'.

The vacuum hose from the controller should be connected to a T-piece. The T-piece should have an arrow on it. The arrow must point to the vac hose that connects to the actuator. The other side of the T-piece needs to connect to the pressure nipple on the intercooler piping that comes from the top of the turbo.

If you have it connected to the wrong nipple (there are 2) then it will not work. Also make sure you have disconnected the solenoid that is beside the power steer res.

thats the way it is set. i even went out and checked.

any other ideas

are you turning the dial in the right direction?
