Sorry man. I can't see anything except all that white paint on the dashboard. <shudder>.

Max boost is obtained when you don't connect the wastegate to the boost source at all. Of course you should block the pipe coming from the boost source to plug the leak - but the wastegate line could be left flapping in the breeze.

BEWARE that this is massively dangerous. You will be running uncontrolled boost, it could very easily spin the turbo fast enough to spit the turbine off. SO IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

I myself have done it, but you have to be massively sensitive and careful with the throttle. Basically what you're looking for is proof that if the wastegate has no signal to it, then the boost can go way higher than you would like it.

I still reckon your problem is in your plumbing. Go back to post #17. If you have a boost control system using the factory solenoid which is regulating a bleed, then you simply MUST have a restrictor in the right place or you will do nothing to the boost signal and will only get wastegate pressure - which appears to be what you have.

Thanks! will try and see how it works. I think i'll have some time over at work later today, i'll see if i can get the EBC to work as it should.

However, i use this

And the solenoid only have a IN and a OUT connection. So my question is, how do i connect it the right way? Do i need a T? or should i just connect the intercooler pipe to the IN port and the OUT port to the wastegate?.

Thanks for the fast answer btw :)

no T piece...

pressure (from intercooler, pre-throttle body) goes into IN, the OUT then goes into your actuator.

Rip everything else out, and block that nipple on your intake pipe.

I'll be back too keep you updated!

AVCR? I think that vents internally. So you just connect the in to the boost source and the out to the wastegate. No tees, no restrictors, no messing about. Find a manual for that model of AVCR and check out the connection diagrams. I just installed an older Profec and had to source the proper manual just to make sure I didn't make any silly mistakes. Do some googling.

Hello again, i tried my AVC-R and it still doesn't work.. (connected the solenoid between the intercooler pipe and the wastegate). However, there is a hose coming from the avc-r.. should it be connected to this?.

And here is a pic of the solenoid

Gonna try my mechanical boost controller tomorrow if i have time. Btw, shouldn't the ebc solenoid make a clicking sound?.

Thanks :).

Get rid rid of that bov.

Yes the solenoid makes a clicking sound when trying to control boost . Which it only does when out of vacuum so it's not clicking all the time.

You can apply pressure via a bike pump to ebc pressure source to see if it does anything.

Will do it tomorrow and try it again. Had the stock one plugged in before and it still acted like this. But going to try to go back to so much stock as possible, so i can find out where the problem is.

Ah, haven't heard it clicked once.. is there any way to find out if it really works as it should? maybe try to connect the + and - to a battery? or is it a bad idea?.

Cheers for the fast answer thou :)

Will try the bike pump method aswell!.

It's extremely likely your stock bov is leaking due to the way it's hose is blocked.

It needs the boost pressure in the top of the diaphragm to hold it shut when on boost . The spring on its own isn't strong enough to hold it shut against the boost pressure.

Connecting direct to the battery is fine.

But you might as well do what I said with the pump to check the whole ebc at the same time.

Oops, forum lagged out i think?. Tried to send the post but nothing happend and now it all showed up :P soz for that!.

Yeah, got help from my brother a year ago or so when we plugged it in the first time. Gonna check over those things and then i'll try again :).

I'll be back with how it went. Thanks alot guys, i appreciate all the help :).

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
