Can you confirm a couple of things...

When you pressure test the system, u remove the afm and put in ur test fitting. That means ur intake pipe is in the pressure system, yet has non pressure areas being compressed. Ie your bov pipe and presumably the breather hoses that go from the ex rocker to the intake pipe, yes?

To rule that out please do the test on the system post turbo instead of pre, and make sure ur motor is on TDC. Then work ur way thru to see where its leaking, work forwards... So from there go to ur cooler entry, cooler exit, crossover pipe, throttle body. Work forward until u track how far the leak is into the system.

Ur breather shouldn't need ur finger put over the gromit, that means ur pressurizing ur sump... Obviously from the ex rocker breather via the intake. Otherwise ur PVC is ficked too. Test this before anything else.. Then test the guys infinite boost (blocked actuator) theory and see if it can actually make that boost up high when it cant possibly bleed it off.. If it can do it then u know the issue is boost control (actuator/wastegate arrangement).

Report back and well all help from there.

Yes that's how I've always done it, it did blow my intake pipe off once, took 2 hours to get it all back on and ready to test again. My bov does have a tiny little leak on the outlet side between the bov and the pipe adapter, not a problem during running. I no longer have the pipe that goes to the intake pipe from the tappet cover, that's the pipe I put my finger in. You can see it in the photos.

it will make over 20psi at 6500rpm, hard to hold it steady there without going stupidly fast. so i crept up to 6500rpm at between 15 and 20 psi then i put my foot down a bit quicker to see if it would make 25. not sure if this is a deffinative answer but makes me feel better. so new actuator and new tune and my car should be fine, hopefully the heat soak issue will be resolved with the tune. thanks everyone.

whats running to your p/s pump if your using that as a boost source?

is the p/s side blocked off?

did you use new hose for your boost to wastegate feed? one of the factory lines has restrictors in it

DVS can you pm me a prIce on a retune please.

Thought i did buddy, ill send u another one.

Let me know how u go with the new actuator, more preload, and put the boost source for the actuator in the cooler pipe just out of the turbo.

How long ago in that HG thread did I say it was the actuator lol.

This IS a definitive answer. Your car made more boost at points it never could when you eliminated the actuator from the equation. Done and done. Get that new bitch on her and enjoy.

Sarge. I did believe you but I didn't have a safe way to test it, that's where my wife comes in handy.

There isn't any boost feed going to the ps pump, I used new vacuum line to the turbo.

Yer I deleted it by accident and couldn't remember what you said.

That's the vacuum valve on a neo rb25. That's what I took the line off, il trace the other line and see if it's causing a leak.

I thought the Hypergear turbos had a nipple on the outlet of the turbo already for that purpose...

If not, do as Jez has said and put a brand new nipple on the intercooler pipe, nice and close to the turbo.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
