hey guys i have had my car runnin 12psi for some time now and it has creeped and spiked the whole time, i have a just jap 3inch stainless split dump/front and im curious if anyone has had problems with this piping! i disconnected my mbc and plugged the wastegate actuator straight into my pressure signal and it goes to .5 and keeps going to .9 sometimes 1.0 bar

were it should be runnin .5 if that max

i have had some thoughts from one of the guys of the forums here, and was curious if anyone has the same turbo back installed and same problems

the thoughts so far are is that the wastegate is either getting stuck while opening on the seperate pipe for the wastegate gases or is jammed?

what are your thoughts guys! the image i attached is the turbo back im talking about

There is only one way to find out mate. Undo the 'e' clip on the actuator rod. Then take the rod off the wastegate flap.

Open and close the flap and see whether it fouls on the dump. Common problem. Seen numerous times with a split dump of a certain brand (not mentioning any names)

i have the same problem i tool the E clamp off on my back turbo and yes it was stuck do i need to change my turbos or something wen i drive the car full boost its spikes like up down up down up down :) help.

i had a look for the E clip today i spotted it ok, i will make sure i dont loose it haha, so if i just remove it and remove rod, then move the flap see if it "fouls" what am i feeling for? if it doesnt open or if it feels like it gets stuck??

Take the rod off and go for a drive. See how much boost it makes. would be lucky to see the .5 bar at redline.If it still spikes then its another issue.

I have an aftermarket split dump and suffered major spiking - from 12psi to 17psi!!. Put my standard back on and 12psi all day.

Found the wastegate flap was fouling the wastegate hole. Gotta get around to die-grinding abit out to get clearances.

i removed the e clip now i am moving the flap but i not sure what i am feeling for

i move it toward the front which is same direction rod comes from and it hits metal i guess thats closed, i then move it toward rear of car and the part i move from left to right hits the turbo heatshield holder what it screws into, i am guessing that it preventing it from opening all the way?? what do you think, sometimes when i move it from the turbo heatshield plate holder toward front it gets stuck unless i jiggle it then it will move again toward front and close! what are your thought guyssss SEND HALP

maybe spray a little WD on where it goes inside the turbo.

In normal operation, the actuator won't open the flap that far to get "stuck".

I see 2 options:

1. take off the dump pipe and try to enlargen the hole for the wastegate

2. buy a bellmount dump pipe

this guy went for option 2 and fixed it

Im having a similar problem at the moment mate. My car has a HKS GT-RS on it and the hks actuator is set on its stock boost which is ment to be around 12-14psi. Mine hit 22psi and was still climbing on the dyno today at 5500rpm, then the guys backed off. So i think my actuator must be hitting the split dump pipe aswell. However i thought it might creep up a little bit, but to 22+ psi?!?!?!?!

Mine isn't a just jap dump, but is very similar.

Let me know how you go, ill have to play around with my actuator this week sometime and check the dump pipe.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
