Intercooler ====> Boost Controller ====> Wastegate

Remove all the tubes you put at the back there and just use 1 tube going from the vacuum nipple to the BOV.

If there is a tube coming from the BOV return pipe, which used to go to the stock boost solenoid... stick a screw in it and block it off.

hey again guys, what i basically need to know is if its possible to run the controller from the manifold. i dont have any nipples on my cooler piping or cooler itself so the manifold is my only source of vacuume. the stock solenoid isnt fitted to the car. how ive got it there is manifold>boost controller>wastegate actuator with a T-peice going to the bov before the controller.

am i able to leach vacumme from the pipe comming from the charcoal canister? to run the boost controller or is that just a stupid idea lol?

u cannot use manifold pressure as the source for ur boost controller, it must be turbo pressure, eg all intercooler piping between turbo and throttle body, get ur hands on a threaded hosetail fitting, drill and tap a thread into ur piping and use that as ur pressure source

Thankyou lol, finally the answer i was looking for XD any places i can get a hose tail fitting from that u know of?

It's really easy to tap a nipple into aftermarket intercooler piping, just get a small screw nipple from super cheap auto and then buy some metal epoxy. Drill a hole, tap the nipple and the epoxy the f**k out of it.

any place shoulde have them man

Try pirtek or couplers, they are normally pretty good

make sure the tap is the right size and thread pitch

the most important thing (and the obvious one) is make sure you REMOVE the pipe before even thinking about getting the drill and tap. if you leave any swarf inside that pipe then your engine WILL NOT like it lol

why not?

if you havent got any nipples on your cooler piping just plumb it up to the intake manifold, works fine

thats the point of this thread lol i tried that and its not working, ive seen a few people hook it up off the charcoal canister vaccume line and apparently it works?

i work at rotomotion, if ur after a threaded hosetail fitting we have heaps of them in house, or leave us the car and we will do all that for u and make sure ur boost controller is all functioning properly

Jonno - firstly boost controllers have a bleed off function, if u are hooking in ur boost controller into manifold vac uv just given urself a vacuum leak

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
