I have HKS GT-SS which is the same as -9s and I have HKS Intake pipings, and I have shuffling issue during light throttles.

I will install the stock intake back on and see if it helps the issue.

Yeh that or you could try one of those splitter plates or extended hard pipework to try to minimize it. All you have to try to achieve is to either make the two jets of air merge more smoothly so that the turbos don't fight each other, or, reduce the efficiency of the turbo a little bit my re-installing the stock intake plumbing as you've suggested. I guess it's whatever you can afford to do ;-) Good luck!

I get a little shuffle when going uphill in 5th at 110, turbos are spooling and load increases bam shuffle shuffle, but for its easy to avoid. All I have is a hard pipe kit with standard twin turbo pipe.

The question is, how bad is your shuffling? Majority of it I find is tune related.

I'm running the stock intake pipework and "twin turbo" pipework still and have no issues what so ever. Would be nice to get less-restrictive pipework one day tho!

The stock pipework will flow 500kw at least, beyond that you are in unknown territory, and piping will be the least of your issues.

As above. Not sure how much there is in changing the pipework. Sean Morris over in the states did a back to back with the "twin turbo pipe mod" and said there was 8-10 hp with that.

For what it's worth I'm making 470 plus rwkw through 5's on all stock pipes including the stock airbox.

Spend the coin elsewhere.

Well gents it's not all about dyno power figures.

It's also about responsiveness and where and how the torque is produced. Obviously the smoother the air flows the better. From a physics point of view everything should just come on sooner and harder with a more free-flowing system. It may not generate that much more HP but it might run better and more efficiently.

Sure, the stock system might be able to pass enough air for a 500kw setup but how much energy would be wasted trying to make that happen? The stock setup is good but how those two air jets merge could be done a lot better - hence why people go for a hard pipe setup with a very acute angle of merging.

It's all about making best possible say, 300kw. The best possible curve. Not just any old curve with 300kw reached somewhere, but the best curve with the most "meat" under the curve line (which equates to torque).

I have recently purchased a 32R it has -9s and it shuffles really bad in 5th going up hill at around 80-90ks. I have to change back a gear for it to make any boost, I can put my foot flat and it just wont go anywhere. also noticed it shuffle a little in 4th if its to low down in the rev range but I can accelerate out of it. I have full standard intakes and piping. has full exhaust and hks actuators. I saw someone say it also depends on how the actualtors are set up. looser or tighter would make this worse ? also I only have a standard computer still

A lot can be tuned out.

Get the "twin turbo pipe mod" done, a decent computer, make sure the actuators are set up the same and a tuner that knows what they're doing. You shouldn't really be shuffling with baby -9's.

Hi Sean, yeh like Paul said, there shouldn't really be any shuffle with -9's. Do you also still run your factory recirc valves along with the rest of your stock intake plumbing?

The only thing not standard on my -9 setup is a set of pod filters and mine is shuffle free (despite my concerns from back when this thread was started ;) )

As far as im aware all the blow off vavle piping and everything is still all standard. I do have a pair of pod filers but thats it. I might check the actuators are set up the same as the rods are adjustable so could be out of whack. And yeah I am planning to get an ecu and retuned. Thanks guys.

Sounds like a plan. If you're not doing so already, use a foot pump with a gauge on it to sync those two actuators. Actually hook the pump up behind the Y piece that joins the two sets of actuator vac lines and then gradually "pump them up" and keep an eye on when they both budge, then crack and then gradually open. If one does anything sooner than the other then adjust rod's tension.

I had to wind on about 5-7mm of pre-load on to my rods to make them hold a solid 17 pounds. (my wastegates stay solidly shut till about 13-14 pounds and then open up from there to give 17 pounds but I still need to get myself an EBC to sharpen those last couple of pounds off - mines basically an all-mechanical boost setup at the moment without bleed valve or EBC)

You might even find that on your setup (with pump attached) that your wastegates start to creep open as low as 7-8 pounds with the aftermarket actuators...makes these -9's quite spongy! I gained a good 1000rpm or so when I first tensioned them up properly..

But yes, definitely get your computer sorted out along with some adjustable cam gears, coil packs and injectors (to be safe) before winding up any boost man. It's a bit crap doing this stuff on the factory computer - tried it for shits and giggles on my own car with pretty poor results.

Hey guys just thought id add in here aswell. Im having another issue at the moment which I have posted in another thread also where I have low boost 7-8psi and high boost 12ish psi. The car decides by itself which one it likes to run. Normally high boost for the first 15-20 mins of running then goes to low boost for quite a while. But anyway I noticed tonight that when the turbos shuffle really bad im only getting the low boost. Where as if I go up hill when its running good on 12psi I can bot make the car shuffle at all. So im thinking they are linked. Would this lead tou to think its a timing issue ? Something is pulling timing out of it? Because also when its only running low boost it feels slugish off of boost too.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
