I've got the same one theo but my boost gauge doesnt go up high enough to measure properly.

Def didn't get any big increase in power when I fitted it, which I'd probably expect from an extra 4 psi.

What are you using to measure the boost increase? The BOV should make no difference to the boost, thats the wastegate's job. List your mods again?

i have an Auto meter Sport compact II boost gauge. i was sitting on 16PSI last time i checked now im at 19PSI (its still not mounted on the dash so its hidden under the seat atm LOL)

Power duct with BNC filter.

Scotty's Dump pipe, Full 3" exhaust.

Intake spacer and HDi FMIC.

yeah found the broken vacuum hose to the wastegate!!!!!

at WSID tonight

first run was a 14.469 @ 161.74.............. (19PSI)

second run i farked up 14.995 @ 153.82/......... (19PSI)

3rd: 14.325 @ 159.34 .................. (16PSI)

4th: 14.373 @ 156.08 ..............(16PSI and quite windy)

and last run was the best with a 14.149 @ 157.89 .............(16PSI and quite windy)

so im happy with that, was guessing between a 14.0 and 14.6 :D

I'll know as soon as I get my Fcon V Pro tuned. But with everything sitting in front of me I have no reason to doubt it wouldn't be the best solution. It is more expensive than the Emanage though.

iamhe77 is currently selling an Fcon V Pro with software and accessories (which you need) and Jetwreck is currently selling the plug and play NM35 harness (which is discontinued). The plug and play harness is great. Emanage requires you to spider the harness to all the necessary inputs.

Only optional items are additional sensors, which I've picked up. I'm just waiting to install everything I've got sitting here, then buy some injectors, then go and get a tune.

yeah i need an piggyback ECU ............. which one is the go ???

The Fcon V-Pro is the one you want... the only reason I am selling mine is because of a lack of harness for the PNM35 (HKS tell me that the Z33 harness will not be suitable :().

It is a standalone ECU, but in the VQ25det it is in piggyback "format". Basically instead of adding/subtracting x values on top of what the OEM ECU does, it sends it's own values based on your tune... totally ignoring the variations that the OEM ECU sends to the engine.

It, unlike the eManage, removed the speed limiter and can (as I have stated before) change how the throttle reacts.

Only thing it can't do is manipulate the cams, but as Scotty may attest, neither can the eManage/Vmanage combo unfortunately.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
