i search the website for a thread about installing APEXi - Power FC - Boost Controller Kit on a GTT but i couldn't find one that shows how to do it. does anyone have the boost controller kit installed in his car and would like to share it with pics?

  • 3 months later...

i think the guide is very helpful to the people that know what they are doing,, unfortunately i'm not one of those people and i know the best thing for me is to take it to a mechanic and let him do it, but really i like to do things myself and like to learn stuff and i'm willing to take a chance to do it myself with the help of you guys,,, anyways i have many question and hopefully someone can help me

i'll start with the GTT stock solenoid

from the picture above you can see there are two hoses coming out of the solenoid, one goes to a pipe connected to the intake air filter (marked with a yellow line), and the other hose which is marked with a red line is connected to a (T joint), then this joint is connected to the wastegate actuator (marked in green line) and the other hose which is marked with blue is connected to the intercooler pipe.,,, in the Apexi solenoid there are 2 lables one is marked COM and the other NO, and in the guide paul made it says:

COM line should goto wastegate actuator

NO line should goto intercooler piping

my questions are:

(1) what about the hose that is marked with yellow? what am i suppose to do with it?

(2) i’m wondering if i can just plug the apexi solenoid in the same plug that the stock solenoid is plugged in (marked in purple circle)?

that is a picture of the apexi solenoid, there is a hole marked NC where the red arrow is pointing

(3) what is that for? do i have to connect a hose to it?

i’m guessing that what is circled in red on the picture above is the stock map sensor that needs to be replaced with the map sensor for apexi and connect it to the same hose that is connected to the stock map sensor,

(4) am i correct??

(5) out of curiosity what is that circle orange thing that is in the middle?

i really apreciate your help and thank you guys in advance.. i know that i asked many questions so all your answers and suggestions are appreciated

go and read

everyone else is capable of doing it themselves, either read and learn more or get a mechanic to install it

most guys wont reply as they have been helping guys install boost controllers and t'vavles for the past few years

they get sick of replying with the same answers every time. there must be over 100+ how to install boost controller threads

there would be literally dozens on the powerfc boost kit and the AVCR kit (they use the same solenoid, wiring and vacuum tubes).

so you could search on those, you could read the PFC FAQ

you could read the numerous how to boost controller threads, you could look in the tutorial section

you could google boost control kit how to and so on

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
