I think you might be confusing the actuator and the Solenoid.

The actuator is doing something and is required to open the wastegate. The solenoid is what you earthed.

Removing the Solenoid will undo this mod and give less Maximum boost.

Quick question

Is this mod pointless if i am going to be putting a boost controller in my R33 or should i do it so it sits at 7psi down low then the admired 11-12psi in the top end from the boost controller? I want to run 7psi down low and 11 or 12 top end.

Cheers

R33 turbo has 5psi waste gate spring. The solenoid bleeds it to 7 or whatever the max pressure is set from factory. Boost controller will essentially bypass/replace the solenoid.

Awesome thanks for the easy answer. :) I realised boost controller would replace it after i went out and looked at the solenoid today. My mistake

Why on earth would you want to run lower boost down low? That's heaps pointless.

So I'm assuming this works with rb25 neo in my stag. I've got a boost t will that effect this mod? Because I feel a massive gain in boost once over around 4000rpm...

Any help appreciated guys. Cheers.

If the Stock Solenoid is there and connected and you are feeling a Boost increase at 4-4500rpm then yes.

If you earth it, you will get that Extra Boost Always.

Should be OK but you could just wind in some more Boost with the T and eliminate the Solenoid completely.

In theory 10psi should be in the safe zone for the turbo but there's too many variables and Luck to be sure it's ok.

Could blow on 7psi, could last years on 12psi... Who Knows? Fingers crossed.

    • 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. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
