aftermarket bov is super retarded on a street car that the stock bov can handle

when you pop the bonnet you might as well call the cop a fag too

Agree.. After market bov is waste of money. Should've just got and. 8MR bov if u wanted an upgrade..

Will be increasing boost, don't think stock 8 will be able to hold. 8MR bov was the other option but it's pretty similarly priced, so the TS should be good choice for me. Dual Port for options, but emo doesn't like atmo usually anyway iirc.

:( I was gonna book my car in for a tune @ Chequered next Friday... except now it's forecast to be 39!? Anyone shed some light on a full tune being done on a hot day like that?

I wouldn't recommend it...

When tuning you push the car hard to find its maximum, then you take out a little bit as a safety margin to accomodate for hot days, slightly different fuel, etc... If you tune on a crazy hot day then the maximum is going to be lower, and then you're never going to be sure just how much of a margin to take out... My last tune with Trent was fuarken hot, think it was a 40c day. His ventilation is pretty good, but it was sucking in the air from above his factory through the roof which was still pretty damn warm so the car was getting really hot and pinging off its tits.

If you can reschedule, I would... but who knows their schedule and when they can fit you in next.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • 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.
