Hey guys... Just having a few problems with my boost control at the moment. All of a sudden it over boosted up to 30PSI. Now it runs unlimited boost. I pulled off my waste gate and everything is running smoothly. No broken spring or valve. Its only 4 weeks old.

I've clamped the vac line that goes to the top of the waste gate and it regulates the boost now

I don't get why you need 2 vac lines going to the waste gate?? Don't they fight against each other

Should i pick up my vacuum from somewhere else other than idle bypass valve? Should i run just a boost tap style setup

Below is a picture i drew up of my external waste gate setup. Running a t04z

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks guys :D

I wouldnt take the boost signal from where you are, id drill, tap and screw in a hose barb to your intercooler pipe just after the turbo, use new hose, run straight from the cooler pipe to the bottom of the gate. Unplug the top. That way you eliminate any chance of cracked pipes or hoses, and boost spikes.

If it still overboosts then theres a prob with your gate.

If it runs reasonable boost (whatever spring you have in the gate), then T off that line for your solonoid, similar to how it is now for the top part of the gate.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
