Story goes i was pulling all intake pipes off and surrounding things like manifold heat shield to tighten up my manifold bolts to try and help my leaking problem.

Anyways put it back together and went for a drive (still tick tick tick) planted it and was at 18psi :/ under investigation the hose that goes to the pressure side e.g intercooler has come off the manual boost controller :( I have looked for over 2 hrs pulled everything off again and still couldnt find it. I had 2 mates who also had a good look and also came up negative. I feel like i have searched for yoinks and still cant work it out. Here is some info that may help assess the problem

-FMIC, Some generic brand

-RB25det S1

-Turbotech boost controller

I have checked all intercooling pipes for a nipple, turbo and joiners, inlet manifold. i defiantly feel as if im missing something. The hose is about 60cm long so it can be anywhere 60cm away from the wastegate if that helps. Also if i shake the boost controller i can hear a ball rattling in there does that mean its broken ?

No it wasnt t-pieced. Now i have found a small hole on the turbo that im assumming once housed the nipple and it has fallen off. Any idea were to get the nipples from ?

I was thinking that perhaps there could've been a nipple on the turbo... :/

Just a dodgy thought but... I wonder if a valve stem off a bike tube would fit in there?

Crazy dodge but it might work. :)

Well that hole is actually nothing, Have taken off the whole manifold, turbo and surrounding piping (to change manifold gasket not to find the nipple :P) and still not found it lol

      You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
