And not holding pressure. You can see the pressure dropping off until the secondary feed comes into play at a certain duty cycle. The noise it's making is strange. Not there all the time.

Anyone else had issues with 044's? I haven't heard of any???!!?

I blamed my 044 at the nats and said it was at fault, turns out it wasnt and the sound change was the super hot fuel from the shit injectors! My surge and pumps were red hot!

The same pump lives strong today, mine constantly switch on/off as its staged off boost but so far no problem at all! I think 044 failures are not a common thing!

Thing is, the noise happens from dead cold after not using the car for weeks.

Oh :/ That is not something i have heard then... I had all sorts of fuel issues, but certainly not what you describe...

I changed the secondary pump to the primary, noise gone and rail pressure was higher. Still holds pressure on song.

Either way, two new 044's are gonna be put in. Fuel is not something I wanna f**k around with.

Sounds like a good plan! Maybe ditch the old one and sell the good one as a lot of guys run the single in tank to get the GTST's to 350ish kw etc....

On a build like yours, overkill is never enough! My fuel system is WAY bigger than ill ever need but being its so important i went nuts with it! Shuddup and Take My Money was the approach i took :P

Thats this weekends project. Grrrrr. Better than popping an engine!

Yep, best way too look at it ;) Should be a fairly painless job? Where are yours mounted?

    • 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.
