Hi, I am planning to install a boost gauge and boost controller this weekend and I need some quick advice. The boost controller is a manual bleed type and I know that it goes between the inlet pipe and the wastegate actuator. I think that is correct?? The boost gauge is a mechanical type and has hose and a t-piece. What I need to know is where to put it and if it goes on the same spot as the boost controller does it go before or after the boost controller?? I am not sure and I dont want to stuff anything up. Also is 10psi safe on a standard motor. It has a full 3 inch exhaust/cat and a pod. Standard intercooler. My boost gauge like most reads in bar. Where abouts is 10psi?

Cheers.

the boost gauge line needs to go to a vacuum line that is after the throttle body.

you can use the same one that the bov uses or same one that the fuel regulator uses, or even the one that the EGR stuff uses.

any of those vacuum lines will be fine. all you do is cut the hose, and "T" in your boost gauge.

yea i found but this is on my r33 gts... is that where the DASH boost gauge hose goes into on top of the plenum [top back] there if ur looking directly at the engine drivers side is on ur left n shit... the right hand side of the plenum on the underside just behind ur throttle body there is a vacuum hose [mine for some reason was plugged up probably cause someone had a boost guage before me in it and took it out]... thats where i was told to put mine,n ot sure if the plenum has the same fundamentals for u,b ut i know theres one for it :P just gotta have a squizz mate...

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
