there are drops of water dripping underneath my 04 v35. under the front passenger side. I spoke to dealer in this regards he says it is normal as the water is comming from air con. I have checked it is water not any kind of oil. but it keeps dropping all the time like never runs out. it is going to be a problem?

It will just be water from your air con if your using it as it has a radiator like core in your heater box and when you use it it freezes up and water forms on it. the water drops of get caught and is let out of the hearter box via a hose that goes out through the firewall

Drain for a/c condensation is under the front passenger side. It is almost certainly just that and nothing to worry about but to be sure a simple test is to lean under the car straight after you have stopped driving and parked with engine off. Let the drips hit your hand and feel the water temp/ look at the colour. If it truly is just condensation from air conditioner it will be cool (normal air temp) and clear. If on the other hand it is coolant it will be very warm/hot and greenish colour. Only other source of water in this area is windscreen washer reservoir which you can check by filling to top and see if level drops without use. Having said all that I would be 99% confident that it is just your a/c condensation drain which drips water like crazy this hot humid time of year.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
