Ok, So while the turbo is off getting rebuilt - I took the Wastegate off too.

Can someone tell me what all these things marked are and what they do (in B-Man layman speak please)

Dunno what 'A' is for

'C' & 'D' are for plenum pressure - I guess one is in and one is out ?? What do you need in and out for ??

I know that 'B' adjusts the wastegate spring - but I can't really work out what happens when you tighten the spring or loosen it - Does a tighter spring open the gate quicker or slower ????

Thanks in advance

d manifold pressure, c is for a boost controller and allows you to bleed air in and increse boost pressure, a apears to have a bolt in it so leave it alone, the screw on the top will increase to tension in the spring as you screw it down and increase boost

'A' is just an alternative point where you can connect you boost controller to instead of 'C'. Connectimg the 6mm line to 'C' with a barbed fitting like yours probably means the fitting iis getting pretty close to the ground, hencu you can throw a 90deg air fitting in port'A'

So the 3040 is going back on...lol good man:thumbsup:

Thanks for the replies folks -

Ahhh - that explains 'A' - thanks Troy :D

So, If I just block 'C' and run 'D' to manifold pressure, then Adjust the spring ('B') - why do I need a boost controller ?

LOL..you dont:)

Did you get the boost problems sorted with the boost controller and 2835. I was thinking about it the other day when i was under my car...what diam line are you running from the wastegate to the boost controller then back to the pressure signal.

'D' should be 8mm, then 'C' 6mm. It makes sense, at work if we install a control valve then we always use a diameter smaller then the main line to get accurate control. If you are perhaps running 8mm line then its possible the solenoid cannot control the volume of air allowed by the 8mm line as opposed the 6mm line...after all we are talking about jack sh1t in the way opf pressures here so a fraction of nothing can often be a lot:(

But my AVCR with an 8psi srping is holding between 17-17.6psi using the EBC, its great, 8psi for day to day, then hit the preset an im getting pretty accurate 17psi

I dont know for sure but i wouldnt be surprised if that the reason the thing drops boost. Its a $5 fix to see if it is the problem. Have a look at the solenoid valve ...its a pi55y little thing and only has to bleed off small amounts of pressure to cheat/fool the wastegate...i reckon we may have found the problem...try 6mm lines from the wastegate to boost solenoid then from boost solenoid back to the T-piece that ties it into the pressure signal...if it doesnt fix the problem then ill buy you a beer as an apology:thumbsup:

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
