also check ur intercooler hoses, i once had a cracked (not visible) cooler hose, the ones going into the end tanks that stopped my car from holding boost coz it wud split slightly on high boost. other then that u said u have changed plenum seals etc... i dunno maybe turbo or actuator

yeh but wat did they check wen they say "boost leak check"?? i mean its easy to miss something... doesit sound like it has an exhaust leak? maybe turbo gasket (between exhaust manifold and turbo)?

hmm i dunno, i guess u need to try rule out a few things, may be a leaking BOV issue, i mean u are still running the stock BOV yeh? try borrowing one see if that helps

this was with the leakin plenum gasket.

previously i made 241 on the same boost a week ago. but yea couldnt hold 16 psi this time either

Some tuners do not know how to fit a boost controller in...trust me.

You will need to re-set your boost controller.

This is what happened to my AVCR...after a few weeks I lost power and boost.

Anyway...you may need to take it to another tuner for more in-sight into whats going wrong.

Hope I have been of some help.

the boost controller has been in for a while.... we'll see how it goes next week, hopefully they can sort it out

Question: What if you squash the Unit, without blocking the hole.?

As I need to make it so It does not release air back thru to the plumb back pipe, say when ur driving at -10 psi. or backing off the throttle from -0 pressure gentley .. this condeluded pipe is pissin me off! I can hear any volume of air, passing thru the Pllumb back pipe, + pressure or - pressure.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
