So my g/f bought me one of these for xmas

http://www.performance-wise.net/USERIMAGES/CAPP53%20GTS%20%20SCUTION%20KIT%20.JPG

installed it yesterday...but as i was driving i noticed that sometimes the revs would go up, but there was no boost, and then the car lost all power and steering and just stalled then rolled to a stop.

Id put the old pipe back on but i split it >_<, i read somewhere it could be to do with the BOV circulation.....but i only have the stock one.

can someone just check ive connected it all correctly.

yup yup looks good to me, +1 for checking clamps, i changed my turbo and left 1 clamp loose which caused it to pop off the cooler pipe which then wouldnt lt it boost over 2psi and run like a bucket of shit + stalled. stalling and poor driving can also be affected by the standard bov as its held open very slighty on idle when vacuume is at its maximum however this does not have any effect as long as the bov is plumbed back into the intake as yours is. maybe check your afm clamps and insure the silicone joiners are making a good tight seal and not allowing excess air to enter after the afm. thats all i can really think of for now, other than that i guess make sure the afm didnt get accidently damaged when you installed the new intake pipe or is dirty :thumbsup:

    • Welcome back mate ,I also joined in the early 2000's , since then I have been in and out a few times depending if I had a skyline in the garage.  I have the another one now , so signed up and back with the SAU team.
    • I used "different strokes for different folks" quite pointedly as honestly, there is no wrong when it comes to choosing what you like.  I always day dreamed about flappy paddles with fast shifts in a sporty RWD Turbo and to me the sound and feel of it cutting through gears in a steady stream is exciting, engaging, and keeps the car better balanced - I *also* like h-patterns, but I find them more engaging and fun in a nice hoonable peaky NA thing.  Type-R Integra/old school NA rotary, things that are raw and need all the rpm where picking the gear and getting it sky high is part of the engagement of the whole thing despite the fact that they probably need closer ratios and faster shifts even more than a 3l turbo thing haha  
    • If I wasn't allowed or really had the desire to visit China it would probably fit in my carry on, but I have no desire, Japan would be nice during Cherry Blossom time though I might need to chat to Jackie about that, that should actually be an easy conversation though as she is currently talking about another cruise, cruise ship to Japan, a week in Japan to see the sights, then cruise home I may even be able to find those OEM NC Recaro seats over there that I cannot find here 馃
    • What do you mean?  In between the two I shared?  They're the same boost   This will be insane.   A mate has a GTSt with a 9:1 RB30/25 with Tomei 256 cams and a Borg S362SX-E that is already a beast from the basement but has a stock 5 speed and will probably get a ZF8 one day.  After the G35 900 RB26 setup I'd be lying if the topic of "Wtf would a divided G35 be like on this thing?" idea hadn't come up - you'd definitely want a wide boost control range setup with it, as even with the less responsive and potent S361 we're having to ramp boost in from very low levels in the early gears.
    • ZF8 is faster, wider ratio spread, better in every way. I do not dispute this. But I have brain damage and I want the feeling of shifting gears. To me the extra work is fun, but I daily an automatic and in the US like 90+% of cars are automatic so a manual transmission is an "exotic" experience. If I want an automatic I've driven an F80 M3 with DCT more than a few times and it's incredibly capable but it's emotionally vacant to me.
