mindflux: sounds like it.. basically if you apply light throttle the boost will all leak out and will struggle to hit "full boost" where it should. If you boot it, generally the force will be enough to squeeze air through all the piping even if leaking, but it will still be down on what it should be doing.

I experienced the same a couple of months ago. Ended up being my rubber intercooler elbow had split. Was pissing out heaps of boost (could literally feel it when I put my hand there). I mean I was getting 10psi of boost or whatever it was set to, it just wasn't doing it properly or efficiently and the turbo was working harder than it needed to. Replaced it and fine again.

Went up to DMD and got my front bar fitted today... its straight out of the mould, so in need of some white paint :D Gordo, up for a group buy and panel painting??? haha

Took me 2 hours to get there, thanks to running into cops on the way, I wont go into details on a public forum, I can say though I received 2 seperate fines... Will have to have a chat with everyone tommorow night to work out if I can challenge it all...

as matt said..

hey, just read that last post .. cop trouble huh? doesn't sound good!

yeah, to be honest I wasn't happy with the quality of my sideskirts that came out.. i had to spend an hour or so sanding it back today -- all the rough edges. Somebody said all DMD stuff came "pre-prepared". Not from what I got. Anyhow, will look good when done which is all i'm worried about.

Yeah i was pretty pissed at the run in with the cops, oh well, 15 months or so with a skyline and first time being pulled over :D Not too bad...

I had my bar prepped before I picked it up... seems ok to me, i might touch it up a lil before it get painted...

lol - ok Zen Grasshopper.. that leaves it nice in the open!

Did you have a chance to test fit the bar? Look good? Its very hard to tell until its actually on the car though all painted. My old bar i saw at Palm unpainted but fitted and it looked so-so. When i got it back it was unbelievably shiney and everything :D

I still have to sand the other skirt back tomorrow.. i even had to cut out the "speed" holes in my new sideskirts as they come out of the mould filled. Took a bit of work.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
