when using one of those JJR split dump/front pipes on a standard turbo around 12psi most people run into boost creep issues because of the wastegate flap fouling on the pipe

would this still happen on a highflow ?(the standard highflow from hypergear)

would preloading the wastegate make any difference? or would i have to modify the actual dump pipe

(i havnt actually seen how the wastegate fouls on the dumps so im just going of what ive read)

It fouls on the pipe on the inside, you need to clean out the inside to clear it. (Or i did anyway) High flow of not, its still opening in the same place :blush:

My advice is to sell it, and get a bellmouth made up, or get a front pipe, and have a dump made. The splits seem to cause problems.

Even after cleaning mine up, letting the wategate clear, it was still spiking. So i got a custom front/dump made and havnt had problems since.

You call though.

well my turbos getting highflowed atm. if its just die grinding and test fitting should be fairly easy as it'll all be off the car.

did u get a custom split or bellmouth made up? how much did it cost?

i had a big problem with boost creep when running a split dump on my high flow. i the end i put a 2 1/2 inch restrictior plate in the exhaust to hold the boost down to 12 psi until i got injectors in and then let it go to 15 psi. i also put a bell mouth on and still boost creeped. i also think the tune had a bit to it as a rich tune will put more fuel in and cause more exhaust gasses.

boost creep sucks! on my hks 2530 on my old RB20.. ihad a split dump and boost creep was crazy.. i pissed the split dump pipe off and got a nice 3.5" made by an exhaust shop.. all under 200 $$ and now no more boost creep! the problem was the wastgate flap would hit on the small split pipe and wouldnt give it enuph room to open fully to hold the boost!

    • 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?
