Could be a few things - missing the little ball inside the boost t? (is it brand new??)

You could have it installed in the wrong lines?

You could have changed the vaccume line and its too big now to control boost correctly etc.

Follow the DIY here on skylinesaustralia - its pretty straight foward... if you have any dramas pop me a PM and i'll see if i can give you a hand.

I can have a look for you and install it if it's not installed properly. Won't take more than 10mins, unless you've done something funky.

The last time I helped someone install one, they decided to install it on a line to the Carbon canister.

When putting in a T peice as a boost controller and its fully open and/or closed depending on what type it is you can creat "overboost". Popps/splutters and lack of grunt can occur during overboost. Included is air/fuel ratio, do you have an intercooler and some of the other upgrade gear like zorst, filter etc..

However if you heard a loud "pop" and then heaps o smoke it is likely the turbs is farked.

Get a mech to confirm your issue. To be sure to be sure.

BTW - 7psi is stock from memory and 14-15psi would be max (straight through, no restrictions)

try the traders on the forums,

but you have

slide

nengun

justjap to name a few

I'd get a mechanic to check it first. My turbo blew just recently, you'd want to get the car looked at to make sure it is in fact the turbo. and not the engine as well.

Not a good idea.

Some of the Traders may have just removed a working turbo to replace with an upgrade. Be very carefull buying second hand from an individual. Have it checked out or buy one that has been is my advice.

Go to the For Sales on SAU and check out some posts.

Cheers S!N

PS. Yup Slide :D for good advice

Oh and you could get Garret in Fyshwick to check it out ($60)

tryed puting the boost t on through the diy it mad a pop sound and now is blowing smoke so i am now thinking that the turbo is f**ked so pissed off any ideas

By the sound of it you have incorrectly installed the bleed valve (boost controller) and may have blown the turbo...

1. When it made the "pop" noise, were you revving the engine?

2. What line did you install the bleed valve in and are you sure that you didnt put it in upside down?

3. Have you tried removing the bleed valve and returning the engine to near stock, then starting it?

Where abouts are you located in Canberra? - If you need someone to check it I may be able to help.

P.S. Do NOT buy a second hand turbo... If you do need a new turbo, buy a new quality branded product from a reputable dealer or you may regret it in the long run.

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
