ive installed a few subs. just make sure u put a fuse between the amp and battery. when u turn it on for the first time...

MAKE SURE THE FUSE IS OUT AND DECK TURNED OFF DURING THE WHOLE INSTALLATION!

as a final step put the fuse in and turn the deck on..

ive had a bad experience connecting the whole thing with the fuse in... good bye amp :D

oh yer and make sure u use thick cable if you have a powerful amp otherwise the wire can melt which is really dangerous.

hope that can help:D

just a another tip as well...when you are grounding your amp, make sure the line between the amp and ground is as short as possible. also, the power line which goes to your amp should have a fuse within 30cm from the battery....just some things i have picked up from hanging around a qualified car audio installer

nothing but fluffly white stuff under there, actually come to think of it what happens if i get a puncture??? haha, na ive got a few of those short term tyre weld thingies in my car, havent had to use it yet (touch wood) so i cant really say if it will work or not, heres hoping it will

No probs with the wiring etc... 60 Amp fuse connected about 3" from battery, earthed to battery earth point on car etc...

i like the idea of buildouts from the odd shaped spaces on the sides of the boot. Will attempt the box re-build soon. No time this weekend though!!! WOOHOO!!!

Thanks everyone.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
