It's the gold metal line as seen in the picture that is blowing air.

that pipe should go to the blow off, somebody removed the blow off and blocked the pipe (as you can see with the 2 bolts holding a cover on it)

get a piece of HOSE and put a bolt in one end (so it seals it tight) and put the hose on that pipe.

it will fix it for you.

Haha mad spelling mistake by me FML!

Thanks for the quick reply, Yeah the blow off valve is weird aswell :S Never seen anything like it!

Haha its a blank off plate the stock bov goes there as gtscott said get some vacume hose and put a bolt in it so it is blocked off or buy a stock bov

Wait a minute youve got a 32... show me some thing please, im having trouble finding where my outside sensor for ac goes, a lot of the front was missing when i bought it.

I can take any photos of any area on mine if you need for you might find more missing/dodgy bits as you just bought the car.

The ambient air temp sensor for the climate control goes pretty much where you circled. On a factory R32 it is pressed into a hole on the bonnet catch support (the vertical strut of whicj that goes down in front of the radiator). When you have a front mount installed, assuming that the vertical strut is not butchered, then it's not smart to leave it down there as it gets hot air through the intercooler. So I just moved mine up to be behind the grille under the bonnet catch. Any combination of cable ties required is suifficient to mount it.

    • 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.
