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

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
    • Yep four point harness. Mounted to a bolted in brace running behind the seats. Dont use it for daily driving tbh but good to have for when its needed plus it looks cool.
    • I had to double check the thread title r34 gtt offset advice lol. Thought maybe i posted on the wrong thread. 😂
