hey guys...few questions.. just little things but yeah

1. external gate...bought one no long ago and installed it myself... although there are 2 vacuum ports... i have only one connect (the middle one ) to my cooler piping but there is another on the end of it.... i read somehwere that the other goes to the plenum... but in that case which hole?? but yeah i kinda dont understand..there was a forum topic on it but none of the pics worked ect.... so yeah i htink the one i dont have connected is the one on the diaphram.. but the car holds boost fine and everything.. so yeah

2. gapping my plugs atm.... and i know i am supposed to have them at 0.8 mm ...but i have a gapping hting and the closests is 0.813 ?? ... am i being fussy?? or should i change that ??

3. i recently blocked off my BOV ( with a rubber plug and a cap hose clamped on) but i was wondering... is it poosible for the rubber plug to be sucked in or sumthin and then pushed through to the engine??... i know that sounds highly unlikely but.. just image if that happened!! also.. the BOV had a vacuum hose to the plenum which i also blocked off.. if the wastegates hose does go to the plenum could i put it where the BOV hose was??

thanx guys i know its a stupid post but sumtimes i jhust wanna sort things out

thanx all

1. hose goes to boost controller, it holds boost fine, but it wouldn't be dumping.

2.nothing to worry about, if its running fine, its running fine.

3. use a metal plate with sealer [if I understand the question]

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
