Sorry to be silly ! But are you reading the boost of the ome gauge ?

I put a blitz return flow fmic and a 3inch JJR bell mouth on with a boost controller. It would spike to 14psi then it would drop down to maybe 12 11 psi.

I ran that for a year and it was all sweet !

Many would advise not run more that 10 psi !

I wouldn't buy an EBC to raise the boost 1/2 a psi!! Not unless you can get one super cheap second hand. The only benefit you will get from fitting ANY boost controller at this point will be to keep the wastegate closed as it is coming on bost, which will make it feel MUCH faster even if it doesn't actually have any more total power up top.

12 psi is not risky at all. If it spikes up there every now and then (or realistically, even every time it comes on boost) you're not going to damage anything. The turbo will be fine - it won't shit itself at 12 psi any more than it would at 10. Sure, it could shit itself, but they're like playing Russian roulette anyway. The ECUs on R34s are a lot less emo than on R33s. They still tend to get well rich and retarded, and if you try to run 12 psi boost all the way to the top end then it might start to feel a bit ragged and slow. I have recent posts (in the last week or so) where I describe setting up my boost controller on my Neo and what it felt like at various boost levels. My physical mods are similar to yours. Good exhaust, FMIC, standard R32 airbox but opened up at the inlet, Metal turbo intake. Meaning that your ECU's thresholds of emoness should be similar to mine.

You need to Nistune your ECU, get the turbo highflowed, get some injectors, a fuel pump and a Z32 and tune it up towards 250 rwkW to get any better results than where you are now. A tune on the standard ECU and fuel system (maybe upgrade the pump for safety) will nett up to 210-220rwkW on a Neo, which is pretty good, but you keep the risk of the turbo going poo.

Nistune prices? See the Nistune website perhaps. It really is that easy.

Also, I am tempted to send you to lmgtfy.com for my recent post. I will have to search for it. If I have to search for it, then you could just as easily seacrh for posts by GTSBoy with the term "boost controller" or similar.

lol!Next mod has to be shift kit for trans. They take a crazy amount of time to shift between gears. First mod for any auto should be shift kit.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
