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.

      Thanks for sharing. That's a great video! My buddy is doing the same thing on his build (S chassis struts and towers). He's building an S14 with billet RB30 shooting for 2000whp... a race car with a TH400 just like this video. For a road car I just couldn't go this route as the strut has to be almost vertical and the caster is not going to pivot correctly (let alone camber gain). You think the R32 frontend is bad, wait till you put a MacPherson strut on without modeling it all in Solidworks to check geometry. I'm not saying it's a bad way to do it but I'd be really curious to see how it affects the geometry.

      Hey Christof and welcome!  Sounds like an awesome project! I'm not sure many of the regular users on here would know much about the HK but I could be wrong.  Looking forward to updates.

      First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions.

      I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
