I just upgraded from A 350GT Premium to a 370GT SP. Both have a BOSE sound system, on which I use direct AUX inputs to pump my Android phone out (with MAJOR sound mods, see Viper); NB the 350 nneedded a special cable, 370 has an input point in the centre console/armrest. Now, The sound coming out of my 350GT was incredible. The sound from the 370GT is nowhere near as good. Were there different levels of BOSE audio in the 370GT? Are there any details about either system? such as watts frequency range or ... etc... And yes I know that BOSE are NOT big on publishing numbers, they simply sell on the basis of"it sounds good)

 

Basically, I would of expected the 370GT to be as good or even better, but it is not. My other possibility is that one of the speakers or amps are dead. Specifically the Sub. The sound system is VERY important to me. I use the AUX, so its the sound not the features.

So chances are it isn't an issue with my car only, but possibly an issue with the V36 itself. I thought maybe a sub and a tweeter had died. Its the low range and the highs that are lacking compared to the 350GT. And we will never know why, as BOSE don't publish their specifications.

You know what BOSE stands for don't you?

Buy Other Sound Equipment.

Inconsistent performance is part of the brand.

I am faaaaar from being a fan of BOSE as a brand. The fact they dont publish/test specs annoys me. However, the stereo in my 350GT was brilliant.I pumped into it through Android, using Viper. I guess I am going to need to consider adding to the stereo system. I went for a premium 370GT in a big part because of the stereo, incorrectly thinking it would of been as good as in the 350GT.

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
