Can someone please help me, I have bought a new incabin Boost Controller made by Turbosmart, I was going to install it to find, the stock Solenoid controller had already been removed by the previouse owner, the car has an after market Intercooler and a HKS Sequential Wastegate installed on the pipe between the Turbo and the Intercooler, the hosing coming out of the Actuater on the Turbo runs out of it then back up into the Plenum then the hosing from the HKS Wastegate runs back up into the Plenum as well, where do I install the Tee Piece, I'm so lost and the only intructions I have are the one for if I still had the factory Solenoid still installed, so now I'm pretty lost...

???

have a better search its all in here somewhere.

btw you shouldn't be doing anything to the BOV it has nothing at all to do with your boost control.

at the end of the day if you have no idea what you are doing and are not mechanically minded just pay someone to install it for you, if you connect the lines up the wrong way you can have unlimited boost shortly followed by the compressor and or exhaust wheel flying apart leaving you with a dead turbo for the sake of saving $100.

Ok I've figured it out...

The Line from the Actuator and the line from the Hks Wastegate both run to the Rear of the Intake plenum. (on seperate lines of course.)

So I've left the Wastegate line alone, cut the Acutator line and plugged the end running for the Plenum, then I've installed a smell Tubbing nipple before the throtle body (i.e in between the after market intercooler and the inlet manifold, not between the pipe from the Turbo to ic, this makes alot of difference.) then run the T-Piece in between that outlet and the actuator, then that vents off to the in cabin BC.

you cant T it in, you need to have a vac line from the plenum or cooler piping going in 1 side of the boost controller and the line from the other side needs to go to the actuator. it'll have an arrow on there to show which way to plumb it in

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
