2 days is nothing to worry about.

Chances are he will simply send it out.

Also with regards to the boost controller..

I found the adjustment to be a little bodgy as the top of the spring would often jam in to thread; I bent the top of the spring in slightly and now its extremely smooth and so much easier to adjust.

yeah i pulled mine apart and had a good look before using it. the cut end of the spring was ok in my case, but i can see how it might be a bit dodgy. i have adjusted it once and left it like that (fluked the correct setting first go).

here's a tip. if you want to install it at the least(stock) boost, tighten the nut just enough so when you blow thru the bottom nipple with your mouth, you can just get the air to come out the side nipple with quite a bit of blowing effort.

Anyone have any ideas on what i can do to make it hold boost a little better ???

Hey all as per my post i think like 20 pages ago i managed to get mine working and it has been going strong alot better than my previous turbosmart pos. Anyways i have upped the boost to around what i thought was 11psi. After doing some high load runs i found that it was getting up to a max of 11.6psi at 4500rpm and then worked its way down gradually till 6800rpm when it was down to about 9.8psi. I have checked the lines and they are as straight and short as i can make them. Other than maybe trying to shield the BC from the engine bay heat do people have any other ideas on what i can do.

Summary is below

4500rpm - 11.6psi

5100rpm - 11.1psi

5700rpm - 10.7psi

6300rpm - 10.0psi

6900rpm - 9.8psi

PS i know it's a cheap boost controller and can't expect the world but 1.8psi is a fair drop.

maybe its got something to do with your acuator.

Mine seems to hold boost fine. Unless the spring loses it's tension over time....??

Thats just my uneducated guess.

i set mine to 9.5 -10psi and when i come on boost hard the thing hits 11psi for a split second then sits on approx 9.5-10psi like i set it

if you cut the spring, you just have to screw it in further, best mod for this controller is to remove all restrictors in the lines if there are any and have more pressure acting on it which makes it a bit more accurate. i put the flat end of the spring to the ball, as it seemed like something you didnt want to foul the movement of, as opposed to the bolt that stays still anyway.

bearing i found worked by the way, and i have 12 more here lol. as long as it fits in it will block the end

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
