Hey guys I have done a man conversion in my car and I put a r34 turbo on while the motor was out all is good but today I tried to give the big girl a bit more boost and up to 0.5 bar was all it would take builds that fast and holds no lroblems but nothing more I know the turbosmart boost tee was working as it came from my working car set to 9psi

I have looked over it all and am kinda scratching my head any suggestions before I rip the turbo off ?

I wouldn't start pointing the finger at the turbo..well just yet at least, sounds more like a incorrect signal connection somewhere (vacuum lines).

Try this (will give you an answer straight up), hook up an aftermarket boost gauge, disconnect your vac line going towards you're actuator completely, go for a spin, put your foot down and KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BOOST GAUGE and back off straight away if it passes 7psi to prevent blowing the turbo!!!!, if it boosts past 0.5bar(7psi), then you have a faulty boost controller!, if it still won't boost past 0.5bar with vac line disconnected, then you have some serious exhaust back pressure issue, possibly blocked cat, or you may have a leak somewhere in the system i.e, cracked pipes, blown gaskets, damaged intercooler, etc.

I got carried away and pointed said finger.... swaped it for the one that was running with that valve on 9psi got to .6 bar thats it I swapped the cooler as well incase it was leaking same deal so I think it may be the bleed vavle or something else it cant be exhaust as its a straight system no cat

I didnt even think to try the disconnect vacum off thr gate ill try that see what happens cheers :)

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.

      We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.

      So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
