damit, last time i asked that question to somone, they said, you shouldnt do it because you should need some restriction in your exhaust, but im running 12 pound and at about 4-5 thou, it flattens off, now im not the most knowledgable in the art of turbos, but could the standard dump pipe be whats holding it back and making it flatten off?

Def get a dump pipe.. pref bellmouth - have a look under the traders section.

Just a word tho - You might get some boost creep. I used to get bad creep, but that could partially be because i dont have any pussies in my exhaust. Fixed with an ebc and pulls 10times harder then with the stock solenoid or the turbosmart boost tap

^^ boost creep happens with poorly made split dump pipes, the wastegate flap fouls on the separator on the dump. Hence your boost goes UP with RPM.

You can't fix boost creep with an EBC, if your wastegate will only half open then boost will go up no matter what the EBC does. You're describing something else, like boost spiking caused by a shitty bleed valve (you set it to 10psi and it spikes to 12psi before settling down to 10).

ok well i dont think i have any of the above mentioned issues apart from it flattening off, and im looking at getting a split dump pipe from GKTECK, not sure what quality they are though, anyone know if there good?

does anyone know where you can get 3 inch dump pipes for an r33? also, is it worth installing on a 12 psi stock turbo with a 3 inch exhaust? cheers

Recommended upgrade.

www.justjap.com sell JJR 3" stainless steel bellmouth dump/front pipe for $199. Do you have a 3" high flow catayltic converter as well?? ...or no cat will do. :D

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
