ok well a while ago i was feeling the burn of a boost leak, so i replaced my dodgy exhaust piping on fmic to a proper piping kit however the top aftermarket pipe has no nipple on it like the std one so the hose that used to run off it has nowhere to go so i drove the car with it just hanging off and the car still felt crappy, then i put a screw in it and now my std car on std boost spins up to 10psi(or more i dont have the guts to gun it yet so i back off at 10) but used to run stock 7psi or 5 i think. does ne body know what this hose is?

this pic aint my car but thats the hose im talkin bout and i have no way to connect it to that pipe like that.

hmmm sounds like that might be it but where else is could i run it to? where is pressured in the system? also im not sure if its a vaccum tho cos i reved it with my finger over it and there was no suction but i havent tried it with a guage just my finger on it

going off what your saying you've disconnected you wastgate actuator vacuum line. thats why your overboosting. you can just connect or "T" this line into anywhere on the pressure side of you system.

i had mine Td in but it was still overboosting so i drilled a hole and tapped a thread in my cooler pipe and added a nipple! theres heaps of threads about doing it. ill try and dig em up. :)

i contimplated doing this but was a bit scared of not doing it right and getting a boost leak, some diy info would be good, ill try searching for the threads but if u no ne please post a link. thanks

edit: did a search and i found heaps on it, looks like ill have to do a bit more work on the car tomorrow then!cool thanks for the advice, was fun tho boosting to 10psi lol! faster but scary as hell cos i was waiting for somthing to break lol

you could always get the nipple welded on as well if ya want. mine is only screwed in with some of that white plumbers tape and it doesnt leak.

i have a welder here at home but i dnt think id risk welding it as the pipes are just too thin, after reading up on this topic i know how to resolve the problem now i think, just buy a nipple and tap it into the piping, cool, so i drove the car from my parents to my house with the hose blocked, like a good 20k's. is it safe to drive it more like this or sud i fix it asap?

ok well im off to bed, spent all day repiping the cooler but was worth it, now 2moro another day off work spent on the car.Have to:

-cut the fan blades

-install this nipple thingy

-cut up my spare bumper so i have a nice big hole in it for racing!

-make sure all the hoses are on nice and tight so they dont blow off

and last but not least check all my vac lines for leaks as i havent really fixed the problem it seems!

then clean aac valve prob

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
