Hey people my names derrick im only new to this site and the whole skyline turbo issue. Recently bought a r32 gtst with min mods front mount intercooler, exhaust, 2.5 from motor 3 inch cat back, dual stage boost controller 7psi and 14psi by switch and ye stock turbo owned it for last 5 days or so seems 2day after driving home today went to give it a hit in boost didnt seem like it was going anywhere like "showed on boost gauge which is leaking 14psi" didnt feel that whole kick in the ass like it did earlier where it would wheel spin or whateva, but ye didnt move, was like turbo didnt work or went N.A. Still spools just felt this big ass lag but kms was still going up dont know how 2 describe it properlly, but seems like it backfires or pops when i give it flat than change gears.. hope im not confusing people. mates said could be a vacuum leak in one of the hoses, another said could be fuel pump so wondering with people who own one what could be the possible problems.

any help will do please

kind regards Derrick.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
