hi guys i'm hoping that someone here can help me. i recently installed a blitz spec s ebc to my R33 i installed it exactly as instructions were telling me. I ran the hose from before the throttle body to the IN on the solonoid then from the OUT to the top port of my wastegate (external) then from the side port to my compressor on the turbo. firstly it ran s@#t house it boosted straight 15psi probably keep going if it weren't for the fact that it started brake down and by adjusting the boost controller it made no difference couldn't lower it even with it turned off it wouldn't run 9psi like it was before installed it. I then took the little allen key bolt out of top of the wastegate for now that has put my car back to running 9psi as it was before i installed the ebc but i stil can't wind the boost up on my car. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi mate, it should be run like this. From the compressor to the IN of the solenoid, then OUT of the solenoid to the wastegate.

Just a question, how many vacuum ports does your wastegate have? 1 or 2.

If it has 2, use the lower one, not the one on the top of the wastegate.

hi there, Unfortunately i still have this problem it's been hooked up as whistle stated above in doing that i get 19psi now and then break down doesn't matter if the controller is turned off or on i still have no control over it has anybody had this problem that could tell me how to over come it could it be a buggered solonoid ? etc etc

You may have installed it wrong.

That s the link for the install manual.

It says the top port is to be left open as it needs to bleed of boost in order to control it.

Makes sense to me.

Also have you left your standard solenoid plugged in?

Also make sure you have the head unit switched to WG for external wastegate.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help guys i'l tackle it through the week. just wondering as i run the bov on compressor side could that contribute to the problem ? just that the way whistle has described it make sense because thats how i've seen bleed valves running. if not i will set it up as i 1st had it which is as shown in the picture because i did actually have the bleed blocked off.

ok guys took awhile but i got off my ass and done this. i ran the hoses as shown in the diagram from the instrunction manual and left the top of solonoid open for it to bleed which i never did the 1st time and it seems to be working properly so thanks for help and info guys was much appreciated.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
