I think the thing to do is copy the pics off your iPhone onto a PC, grab a coffee, and write a slow, careful post sitting at a normal-sized keyboard in front of a monitor.

Nobody's going to be able to make sense of a complicated request if it's done in text-speak at 400kph!

Good luck.

How many wires are there and what colours are they and state what you hooked up each wire to.

Hey mate rido I'll try explain the best i can without pics!! I'll rite what the instructions says and see if use can figure it out. I think i may have I'm gonna try disarve but on the back of the Gauge has 2 spots to connect connections, one connection Is a clip with 4 inserts,the instructions says the four wires are as follows RED:batter(+) BLACK:battery(-) WHITE:Note ORANGE:Note, that Is on one set of wires(the clip with 4 points) I no where these clip I'n to but not how to wire them together!.

Then there is the next clip with 2 points and 2 wires(the instructions says this I's the sensor wire and has a RED & BALCK wire no other instructions on it

Then i have the boost/vacuum sensor it has 3 wires(thought it should only have 2 so i could connect the sensor wires) these 3 wires have instructions as follows BLACK: connect to sensor wire black EIRE

RED: connect to sensor wire RED wire i under stand them to but the next wire i dnt get

WHITE: connect to sensor wire white wire?? The I's no white wire with the sensor wire! Only white wire i can find is the one with 4 wires that chugs the color of the gauge? Dnt no if that helps but yeah I'll try disarve

White is usually ignition power on

orange is usually dimmer switch = lights in gauges

Then there is the next clip with 2 points and 2 wires(the instructions says this I's the sensor wire and has a RED & BALCK wire no other instructions on it

Then i have the boost/vacuum sensor it has 3 wires(thought it should only have 2 so i could connect the sensor wires) these 3 wires have instructions as follows BLACK: connect to sensor wire black EIRE

Guessing here: Red and Black to sensor, white to ignition to power the sensor, but we need pics

RED: connect to sensor wire RED wire i under stand them to but the next wire i dnt get

WHITE: connect to sensor wire white wire?? The I's no white wire with the sensor wire! Only white wire i can find is the one with 4 wires that chugs the color of the gauge? Dnt no if that helps but yeah I'll try disarve

I've got some wiring diagrams at home for gauges and will have a look at them when I get there tonight.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Hence why I suggested some tests.

      Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
