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.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
