That's the idle air circuit, AAC and air reg connect here.

Cheers for that man, it had a hole melted in to it, i have taped it for the meanwhile. would a hole in it cause my car to run like crap?

Absolutely, you'll let unmetered air into the engine below boost, and let out tons of air on boost. Definitely would run like crap.

Ohh okay, because thats what it feels like its doing, its hitting 8 psi, but doesn't feel like its pulling at all. almost feels like its letting all the boost out somewhere. I have taped the hole really well until i get a replacement, but its still doing it.

What has been done to the black pipe that connects to that nipple?

That pipe connects (via the AAC and air reg) to the plenum so I doubt the engine would run unless the pipe has been blocked.

I followed it and its still hooked up to the plenum, it goes to a joiner that goes along the top of the back of the engine. The hole was melted by the external wastegate

So you're saying the hose end is open to atmosphere?

Under idle conditions, the throttle plate is effectively closed and the engine draws air via that black hose.

The AAC valve and the air reg are part of that system, which ends by connection to the plenum.

This means with an open hose, when idling the engine is eating unfiltered air and when under boost conditions, boost is escaping.

It's not too difficult to connect that hose to the "J" pipe as originally intended.

Yea it's still connected to the correct place it just had a hole melted into it. i taped it for the mean while

I see, that's not so hard then.

As a temporary measure I'd cut the hose at the burned part and sleeve it with a piece of steel tube/hose clamps until you can buy a suitable replacement.

The hose has to take heat and boost so tape won't cut it.

Ahh good idea, yea i'll do that tomorrow, i also realized my bov isn't going off, it just compresser surges. as i said earlier it makes 8 psi boost but doesn't pull like it is. When i had the gate hooked up wrong and it was over boosting the bov was going off.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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
