If you are getting boost spikes with no boost controller it wont help, it is your gate setup that is causing it, boost controllers can only make the boost come on faster and higher, cant lower it or make it slower.

What are you currently using for boost control and what is your turbo setup?

its just got a shitty turbosmart bleed valve. just running the stock N1 turbos.

fingers cross its just the bleed valve causing it. i really dont wanna go chasing problems.

Get rid of the bleed valve and get an EBC, eboost street are around $400 and very good, as good as any of the other brand name ones for $600+

You could also try reducing the line size on the bleed valve, the mechanical ones often spike if they have more than 10cm of line on them, when I first got my first turbo car it had almost a metre of line, spiked to 16psi then dropped to 10 on the lowest setting with a turbo smart one, cut the lines right back and it got a lot better but still spiked.

EBC is the only way to go, a stock GTR controller should let you run 10psi quite easily and this is all you want to run max anyway if you dont have supporting mods, if you do then EBC it up.

hey sorry to take your thread but does any one know about an ebc that will have a high/low boost button.

ie. press the button remote mounted and your car goes to 20 psi until button if pressed again, then boost goes to 12psi.

not the turn and push because to have the car leagel in qld you cant have a in cabin ebc. may get around the boost controler in cabin senario by putting the controler in the bay or deep inside the dash and just hiding the solenoid. yeah sorry about the hijack but this may be used in future by me.

As Nismoid said get a turbotech boost controller so many people have used them with 0 issues (me included) they even do an electronic kit now for like $80. It's all on ebay not sure how their electronic kit works but if it's anything like the MBC it will be very good

pretty much all have different boost settings where you can just press a button, just cut the ass out of your ashtray and mount it in there, easy access and no one will ever see it, thats what I did

Benefit of Dual over single solenoid ?

Dual's tend to hold boost more reliably and tend to reduce any boost spikes caused by the EBC itself.

As they are Dual Solenoid they can meter/read from two sources therefore have a more reliable reading.

Turbosmart eboosts can have a remote mounted switch wired to earth that changes between boost groups.

Get a decent ebc man, your standard nismo turbos are good for 20psi mine are anyway. Im making 300kw on 18psi. Get the ebc and a PFC and send me a PM. I can get you good dyne time at a good price

gizzmo ebc allows a remote button to switch profiles or overboost for x no. of seconds

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
