hey guys.. i just brought a manual boost controller and installed into my r32, one hose is coming from the wastegate to the boost controller then the other hose comes from the turbo. is that right? cause when i brought the car there was 2 hoses already there but they were connected.

when it hit boosts then the car started jerking. it sounds like its hitting the a limiter. but i dont know wats going on? can anyone help :)

Sounds like you are hitting boost cut which would mean it is more than likely not hooked up correctly. Have you made sure the boost controller is turned right down?

Also have you got the hoses round the right way? does it have an arrow or some indication on which hose should go to wastegate?

Also usually the other hose needs to pick up manifold pressure but you say it is hooked to turbo can you be more specific?

Also what type of boost controller do you have?

In most cases there will be an arrow on the tee, make sure this side points to the wastegate.

Secondly, you've got the boost wound up too high and it's hitting the boost cutout. Make sure you screw the adjuster all the way in so that if you were to blow into it, no air would escape the opposite side. Then perform your road test and wind the adjuster out in small increments until the desired boost level is achieved.

As above, make sure its around the right way, if you don't, the actuator wont see any signal = lots of boost, boost cut and eventual FAIL.

Oh, and even if you don't do it for anything else. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS for this one.

      Hahahahah, look, your not wrong 馃槀馃槀 and thank you brother 馃檹馃徏 jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! 馃槄 every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts. Im shooketh, go easy on me hahahaha or don't 馃馃徏馃槉

      If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.

      I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.

      Yes, so it won't work for places with no photos on the net. I would have said that there are no photos of the inside of my house on the net, but....then I realised that my kids' parties would have had bazzillions of photos of the living spaces, kitchen etc put on insta and other shitmedia. So... you can see how insidious it is.
