DIY BMW repairs and maintenance is cheap and easy.

Australia rips us off because it's considered luxury car

Just buy spare parts from America and you are set.

My dad took his BMW to service centre was quoted thousands of dollars to fix, we bought all the parts delivered from America for a couple hundred and did it our self.

Some parts even cheaper than skyline parts.

Brown - Auxiliary Air Control

Purple - Fast Idle Control Device

So as long as the brown is connected, it should be fine

thanks again, enough info to find the exact information in the SR20 forum.

so brown is IACV, pretty important.

the other (I'm almost certain) is an on/off switch from ECU to boost idle when AC is on or high power steering pressure (full lock). explains why I kept stalling at DECA on the skid pan. it's all makes sense now

shopping for GTX's now... tempted for external gate but fair bit of effort involved...

I remember first time I met Aaron at Phillip Island and he said "chuck a GTX in there" "nah..."

Took you a while to listen lol

And yes, external gate. Sooooo mut fun just get a good fabricator to hide it like Scott did for mine

    • 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.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
