Got a:

R33 gtst

HKS 2530

Blitz Dual SBC Boost Controller.

At idle it used to read -47 now reads -24

At max boost, which is 16psi it reads 0.4 which is about 4psi

Factory boost gauge reads the same as before.

So, who can help? >_<

i had a crack in one of the vac hoses that made my blitz dual ebc read funny. but that affected the stock guage too. have you checked your vac hoses?

i know sometimes the vac-hose connector at the back of the ebc gets loose abit and hisses/leaks. you know, that funny connector thing that connects the plastic tubes from the ebc to the t-piece. your running more boosts now? so maybe its come loose abit.

- I am running more boost, had the stock turbo before @ 12psi, now got the 2530 @ 16psi.

- the -24 was in cmHg.

Going to check for leaks.

Btw, vacuum leak isn't dangerous right?

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box
