not exactly the same as yours but I installed a fmic on mine and everything is fine. After about 4k rpm if you notice a drop in the power or it isnt building as fast as it should - one of the pipes isnt connected/tightened properly

exhaust will only play a role if its way too big or too small other then that its just noise if its all stock

I have a Neo in an R32 with a good FMIC and 3" with good cat and dump. Just running off the wastegate with no boost control (didn't install the R34's solenoid) I could not get more than 6 psi. That's from a 5 psi actuator. Engine is in perfect health, etc etc etc, blah blah.

You shouldn't be getting too much boost (if that's your problem) from just an exhaust and FMIC. You might gain a psi or 2, and that might get you up to nearly 10psi, but the engine and ECU should be perfectly happy there.

I get to much boost goes to near 1bar constantly and tyred everything boost leak tested aftermarket controllers I even ported they wastegate hole for the hell of it but still 1bar even of just the wastegate actuator so it shouldn't be over 10psi should it unless something's wrong hey only thing else I could think of is ecu has a malfunction ?

ECU malfunction cannot cause that much boost.

So, you're telling us that you have completely dismantled the whole turbo system trying to fix this problem? So you know that the wastegate is 100% free to move, not jammed in some way? Do you have a dodgy split dump pipe installed? Anything else that we should know about?

Has a split dump pipe but flap moves freely vac lines anit stuffed changed all of them

3times to make sure standard turbo standard wastegate and tyred another rb25 one to

Wastegate opens when I put the compresser to the vac line and don't loose any pressure

It's like the when the car is standard it boost to 5psi then 7psi

But after the mods does .5 bar to 1bar lol

OK, so next test. Disconnect the wastegate actuator rod from the gate lever arm. Tie the lever arm so that it is jammed 100% open. Take for a drive and report back. Expect it to take an age to come on boost, but if you drive it up hill in 3rd at about 100 and give it a bootfull it should come on.

If you have an air compressor feed some air directly to the wastegate and set your compressor to push 5 7 10 12 psi in increments and just check each level of pressure make sure the wastegate actuator is opening correctly. Unless its internally seizing up it should still open at stock levels. Also I doubt your split dump is helping. I had a split dump for about a week. It was overboosting. When I tested my actuator you could hear the flap hitting the dump on the inside. It looks fine before you bolt it on but I found it was my issue.

Yer drove it without the actuator on at all makes no boost till high rpm then just makes a lil

And my wastegate flap don't touch at all opens fully backwards in the split pipe so anit hitting anything and slowly tested it to

And opens fine That's what I mean I've tyred near everything

You can test wg spring using a large plastic syringe with a vac line attached to you wg actuator with a boost gauge t'd in. That will determine actuator psi.

Then check that you wg flap dosnt foul on you dump.

If its still a problem put a bleed tap on the vac line leading to your bov.

Check out autospeed.com.au for more info on that

By contrast though, mine is fine and always has been.

So another words Mine should be ok on the mods

How about the boost sensor ? If that plays up would it do anything not the solinoid the sensor on the back firewall

No. The boost sensor on the firewall (the ECU's sensor, not the gauge sensor) doesn't act until much higher boost levels. For example, when I was first tuning my boost controller (on this Neo engine) I had a problem with the pressure regulator I was using. It was basically jammed shut. So I had zero boost control. I saw 1.2bar a couple of times before working out what the problem was. In lower gears it would do this happily, with no savage boost cut type things going on. But if I tried it in 4th gear, the boost would shoot up there and there'd be a fairly savage cut. Once I got the regulator working properly I tried it a couple of times at nearly 1 bar and there was no savage cut (although I do get some R&R behaviour evident at high loads, that's a separate issue). The message here is that the boost sensor not only isn't used to set your boost level, it isn't actually used for anything very much at all. I have a suspicion that it might play a part in determining whether to fuel off the fuel map or the VE map, but that's a separate issue again.

I broke my boost sensor (accidentally) off. Never noticed a difference ever. Was trying to figure out why for a long time haha.

shouldnt have to if other r34s can run the same mods and not have a problem should just work dam it grrrrrrrrrr

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
