Was just wondering if you could help me out..

ive done about an hours research and still fairly clouded

there is a what i will call "air reservoir" half way up the intake pipe

that runs from the airbox to the intake mani..

and there isnt much distant between this box and my extractors

it has melted the bottom of this air reservoir and stuffing out my

revs/time as its bringing air in after the oxygen sensor..

and what i wanted to ask is am i able to eliminate this box all together

i believe the on hose plumbed to this box is idle air maybe..

what to do with this so i never get this issue...

sorry if i sound derp haha.. this has just done my head in

its a pain in the backside

Its bringing in air after the afm but BEFORE your O2 sensor. . .to answer your question i believe the part you are describing is (you have pics?) is a resonance chamber , you should be able to replace it with a hardpipe no worries

there is a pic in my original post man..

i was thinking of just replumbing the idle air hose

from the resonance box straight to the intake pipe

with maybe a one way valve attached.

cause i think its just a throttle body bypass for idle air

is this resonance box shaped and made in a certain way for

any reason?

when i removed the hose from the box..

put a sock over it just to test free air sucking

because the intake pipe will allow a bigger air flow

and my car just either stalling or idles rough as guts

is that just a matter of playing with idle revs and/or timing?

i ended up cutting the box off with an angle grinder fibreglassing

the pipe.. then sikaflexing under the fibreglass.. and then coated

the whole lot in black sika just to ease paranoia.. then cut the nipple

for the hose.. did the same.. and left it all over night.. and she runs sweet

makes an awesome induction rumble haha

also did a fair service as in plugs, oil, filters flushed it all.. runs beautifullyy

and heres a pic of what i did lol

    • 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 👌
