Hi Dave, what you are describing is totally normal, unless I have missed something. At idle the throttle is closed, the engine is running (sucking) so there is vacuum between the inlet valve and the throttle body. If there wasn't vacuum (sucking) then the engine wouldn't get any air in, so it wouldn't run.

Hope that answered your question:cheers:

Aren't they the T28 ? (Same as GTST turbo. . .?) If they are, they're generally good to run 14psi occasionally, but I wouldn't drive my GTSt any higher than .85 bar (roughly 10 - 11psi) constantly.

So when I get the stag (2 weeks) I put my AVCR in her and set setting A to 0.8 bar (normal driving), setting B to 0.9 bar (drag) :rofl:

On thing I noticed on mine when the boost was up to 12psi was that it was damn loud !! I'm still running the stock airbox with a highflow panel filter, oh, and the sound deadening wading in the airbox has been removed too.

But the difference between 5psi (stock) and 12psi is massive... Anyone else notice this ?

I'd rather it not be noisey, it sounds like a pod filter when it comes on boost...

I might let up the boost a little once I have the front mount and dump pipe on the car, that way in my opinion Ill be pushing the turbo just as hard as I am at the moment, with less restrictions such as full exhaust and front mount intercooler (well at least the piping change) you can safely say that running say 11psi as opposed to 7psi or so with standard gear you'll be pushing the turbo just the same..

As for increase in sound, what sound deadening stuff in the airbox are you talking about? Nothing I could see there? Mine isn't insanely loud, defanatly not as loud as a friends r34 with just a pod filter.. Certainly audible but hard to hear with windows up and a little stereo going.. Its not a whining noise is it?

I raised the boost on my r33 to about 10psi, and at the same time removed the sound deadening padding in my air box, and it is LOUD. I remeber going for the first drive and thinking to myself "did i put that panel filter back properly?" :wassup:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
