pipes backwards or around the wrong way will also cause this

basically its running unlimited boost it sounds like

if this is the case - then the wastegate never opens

so usual culprits are air lines or vac hoses backwards to the actuator never gets a pressure signal

other known suspects can be the wastegate flap hitting the turbo housing if its a new turbo / dump setup etc

check the actuator rod with a pressure gun it should be move freely with say 10psi of pressure (or whatever spring you have)

try here

be sure to note where COM and PORT go

for the powerfc boost kit which uses the same parts etc

How do I hook up the optional Boost Controller kit?

The optional boost controller kit for the Power FC consists of the pressor sensor, pressure sensor harness and solenoid. The solenoid should be plumbed between your manifold and the wastegate actuator (internal wastegate setup). For external wastegate setup it should be plumbed between the manifold and your external wastegate pressure line. The pressure sensor should be plumbed in parrallel with the factory MAP sensor which is used by your standar boost guage.

The solenoid has two labels on it, you should match them accordingly

COM line should goto wastegate actuator

NO line should goto intercooler piping

It can be T'eed into the plumbing with its included T piece fitting.

yes it will, unlimited boost means;

pressure in the manifold isn'y held back by anything so it will just rise to whatever the turbo compressor wheel can supply

this will stress out lots of components in the engine such as seals, valves, joiners etc as pressure will be around 1.3 bar somewhere if its the stock turbo

this will also dial in a truckload of heat into the intake charge which will induce poor performance and detonation city

instead of the intake charge being say 35 deg air temp at 10psi it could be 65deg air temp at 1.3 bar

it will cause more detonation, risk lots of components and generally be a time bomb

you should see the stock boost guage or your aftermarket guage fly past 1.0 bar and rise way past it

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
