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

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
