(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.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
