kind of defeats the purpose but thanks!!

depends on the purpose. if your looking for weight reduction and incresed airflow, then he's hit the nail on the head, if your looking for a fully sick defectable car then yes, he's missed the mark

Bonnet cost me 400 to get painted at fibre vision in perth. It was originally silver carbon fibre which looked pretty good but I had a close call with the boys in blue and didn't want to risk standing out to much and getting a defect (though I still will painted or not) I know it doesn't stand out as much as black but I think the vents and ridges stand out alot more painted than normal. I had a black carbon fibre bonnet on my wrx which was red and yes very agressive and I often wondered why people would buy one if they were going to paint it, and now I know

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
