Have a chat to WogsRus about settings, he runs the Gizmo EBC and from memory had a similar situation...

Your PFC cant act as an EBC so you would either have to do away with the Gizmo and get a new EBC or you could borrow/buy a manual boost control like the Turbotech to double check things (i have one if you want to borrow it)

As for tuning and mechanical work you should talk to Nick & Ben of GT Garage for all your import and PFC tuning needs:

Contact:

Nick - 0407666107 - Tasboost on Ns.com

Ben - 0408782632 - tas_180 on here, NS.com, BC.com

Nick is rated as the best PFC tuner in Tassie and you only have to look at some of their clients cars to see why :happy:

Good luck and hope you sort it out :thumbsup:

hay mate the ebc is a sinche to tune, we need to meet up one day, but the common problem is that the actual wastgate can not flow enough exhaust through it if you have a nice free flowing exhaust.

Anyway we need to catch up and i'll give you the run down.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
