I've just finished installing the exhaust valve controller & it works perfectly, when its fully closed it sounds stock & when its fully opened there is no loss of performance, best thing i've put on my car.

Someone said they only make them for a 2 1/2 inch exhaust, not true they make em for any size.

I got it through Neugen, he was a pleasure to deal with, it took approx 10 days to recieve it & he was $50 to $60 cheaper than Greenline or anyone else.

Yes its the butterfly valve from inside the cabin job.

It cost me $202 postage included from Neugen & its easy to install. I havent got a camera to take photos of it, take my word for it, its tidy & neat.

The cable went down through the passengers seat, there's a wire going to my cat so i threaded it through there, no drilling needed

Yes Nengen & the butterfly valve goes just after ur cat & the controller i've mounted it to the left of my left knee on the centre console, its out of the way it doesnt interfere with anything. The controller is only small.

I mounted mine on the inside of the passenger footwell (next to the stereo) so still very well in reach of my left hand but not so annoying as to hit my left knee on it every time you change gears ....

Thats exactly where i've put mine. Just didnt explain myself properly

Koolies :) it's a good spot cept every new passenger to the car gives in to the urge to play with it ;)

I actually removed the valve recently as I started getting scared when it was closed ... backpressure and turbo's dont mix well :(

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • 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 👌
