(Update Look at Second Post)hey guys i just bought a turbo skyline i updated from my non turbo , now this guy has hooked up a boost controller but there is vacuum lines going everywhere and it doesnt even work! , My mate looked at it and said its all over the place . It looks like there is a hose under where the acuator is that goes to a factory looking Y Peice. Then one end goes into my boost controller then the other end into the intake plenum . But the other peice going out the Y peice goes into where my BOV plumbs back . Does anyone have DETAILED PICS coz i can't find shit on this website how to hook it up and Cant find anything on Forums

OK had another more detailed look. Starting from the beggining , There is a Thinker looking Vacuum Line coming from what looks like to be a bolted on Hose T That comes off the turbo Just before where it pushes air into the Intercooler Pipe Just behind the Actuator , Like just 10cm away from it . THEN that goes into a Strange Looking y Peice thingo thats gold metal. Then the Bendier part of the Y Joins to where the Actuator thingo is on the turbo and the other straight Y peice now goes up towards the airbox which my Boost T is on arrow pointed towards Actuator and the Other bit coming out T peice goes into the Intercooler Pipe .. Is this right i need help asap as im outside doin it now lol

you've totally lost me...

The stock setup (from factory) has the intercooler pipe coming out of the turbo, on that pipe there is a nipple which a vac line is connected. That line goes to the stock solinod, then 2nd line on the solinod goes to the turbos actuator. You will need to disconnect all of that.

Now, run a line from the nipple on the intercooler pipe to the boost controller then have the line coming from the boost controller to the turbos actuator. Theres shouldnt be hoses left right and centre., just two. Make sure you connect the lines in the right way, otherwise it wont work and you'll overboost. Also have a quality boost gauge to check what boost your running, the stock one wont do, its SHIT.

should be very easy

intercooler pipe---> boost controller ---> wastegate

everything else, block them up. follow them back to where they come from and block them as short as possible, keeps it tidy and also means you know they werent being used for anything else.

factory setup is complex because it plumbs back what it bleeds off

You can try and block it off with a screw for now, then get a proper plug tomorrow.

Block off that turbo outlet. Strange place to run a hose. That boost tee should be inline with your pipe then to the boost tee then to the actuator.

    • I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.  
    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
