does your boost controller have the vauccum lines coming into the cabin where the switch is? or does it just have electrical lines to a solenoid mouinted in the engine bay?

is it ILLEGAL to have a switchable boost controller with vaccum lines running into the cabin

it is LEGAL to have a switchable boost controller with electrical lines running into the cabin.

Hrmm.. I'm quite interested in your comment that an electrical lines EBC is legal, could you possibly tell which EBC is legal then? And also what you are basing this fact on? My understanding of the modification booklet from DOT is that all forms of EBC is illegal, I didnt see any conditions in it at all.

Zoixy.. I told you man.. I got fined before and didnt loose a point.. geeezzz.. :( As to fighting it.. good luck to ya man.. I was at some stage in the process of fighting a defect, but at the end gave up cause it was costing me valuable work time and petrol money.. just not worth it at all at the end :D

i have a 2'' exhast for $200 if you'd like to have a look.its quiet and sits high up in the chasis. it was on my car when it was pulled over and was one of the only things the cop didn't have a gripe about. couldn't book me for anything though.

ok about the boost controller it is a turbosmart dual stage boost controller, which the controller unit is under the bonnet and just the switch is in the car. Havnt had a chance to remove the switch to see if there is a vacuum line or not there because i didnt install it...it came with the car.

the other thing i wanted to know seeing that i have to move my gauge off of the A-piller when removing it does this just mean i have to cut the wires coming out of it or do there disconnect from the gauge or something?

it is an autometer air fuel ratio gauge.

all help appreciated

thanx

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
