i was reading in the forced induction section that you can change the 2 stage boost to just run 7 all the time. the guy who did it was having problems but i was wondering if you guys would recommend doing this and if it is hard to do. from what i read you have to cut a wire and then ground it or something.

It's pretty easy. Essentially, theres a sensor which has a white and a black wire going into it. Cut the black wire and ground it to a nut (closest and easiest one is the Strut bar bolt).

Once thats done, start the car and give it a boot!

Boost spikes??? Some how I don't think so. Its basically a factory setup, its just not running dual stage. I don't see how boost spikes can happen.

Boosting to 15 psi also seems crazy. I mean, the wastegate actuator opens at 7psi. There is nothing in the lines like an EBC or manual boost controller, so the wastegate actuator is doing all the work. Don't know how he possibly boosted to 15psi.

Thats what I was thinking. If u get boost spike after doing this, you would have got it before as well. Nothing will change other then more boost at low RPM. Whoever said that is either speaking shit, or had a massive problem. Or is confused. Either way, they're wrong.

Dooo it Sunny!!!

You can feel the difference when you do this little mod. 2psi may not be much, but hey, its a free 2psi.

R34's run a dual stage boost same as the R33's. They go from 5psi to 7psi. With the mod its a constant 7psi :wave:

Come on guys. Enough questions. Just do it or buy an EBC or an ECU. >_<

It should never have gone this high in the first place.

now consumers will 'settle' for 99 cents a litre thinking it is 'normal'. next time, prices will hit 2dollars a litre. then they will come down to 1.20 and people will be like "OMG SO CHEAP"....

:rofl:

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
