Assuming it in a 33..

Your mechanic probably installed it wrong because he doesnt know what he's doing. why would you let him do it if he hasn't got a clue....

can't go past 5psi, probably just running stock actuator pressure.

get your money back and go somewhere else or read the manual, should be fairly straight forward

Well he is a mechanic that's why I'm pretty sure he did install it right just needs to bet set up it does work! Only on 5psi I tried to set it on 10psi and it switches back to 5psi I did read the manual tried to get it going but failed might give a auto electrician a call!

did you check his installation of the solenoid with the manual? its easy to put something in backwards.

the stock actuator is 5psi, so its not working, if it was you'd be getting more.

if you can find someone local who knows anything about boost get them to have a look at it. any car meet or something should find you someone =)

Ok sklyn thanks for that I have not checked that! I'm assuming mechanics know this shit just to install a boost controller I did ask him if he knows how to install he said yes! Most mechanics should know FML not rocket science but I'll check thanks for that!

Ok should I get auto electrician to check it or a turbo mechanic to check thanks for advice! Nizmo_Man

Not necessarily. Many "professionals" hate to admit what they don't know. Post your location up with your name and see if a local SAU member can have a look at it or they may point you to an RB knowledgeable workshop.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
