has it always been like that? Did the seller say it had diff turbos? If he didnt why would u not say so to warrant higher sale price? Easies way is to check the markings on the compressor cover. But u said coilpacks are f**ked? When does it misfire

to be honest cant remember how long its been like this but as long as I can remember, basically got the car imported through a private importer but he didn't know of any changed turbos as such and being my first turbo car it wasn't until i actually looked at dyno threads that i realized its hitting full boost very late the car misfires coming onto boost or generally struggles at low revs when warming up especially changed plugs and no change so waiting for splitfires now.. but as Hamish said waiting for nengun is >_<

how hard is it to check markings what shit do i have to take off

and if it were a leak wouldn't the car not make it to 1 bar on my gauge?

nah it will still reach target, just laggy as the pressure leaks constantly during build. Mine did the same just a touch laggy and lacked some zest

ah yeh makes sense will go have a look at a few things

Guess what? Something you guys will never think I would do :O. Greddy type s coilovers (hamishs recommendation) ordered from jap land. Then some whiteline adjustable sway bars are next :D

Nice man, i got swaybars on their way too :banana:

Are you still going for an e85 tune?

I would love to do more low! But then that would have to park the car outside cuz it won't get into the secure parking in my appartment. :( there will be heaps more low when I get my own place with a good driveway :)

by all means get more low. Then i will take the car spot!

:D :D

eh tightened and checked every clamp i could still no change fml, maybe ill just wait for coilpacks and see if they make any difference

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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.
