Hose To Boost Controller

Just wondering why this hose is t'ed into my boost controller. It is tapped off a hose that is about 1 inch in diameter that runs off the intake pipe between the AFM and turbo. The hose that is 1 inch in diameter runs all the way up to the pressure relief valve near the intake manifold.

the hose in question is circled in yellow. the blue one goes to the wastegate and the red hose runs up to the intake manifold.

I am wondering about this cause i would expect this hose being hooked up to interfere with the pressure that the wastegate is seeing and hence may be causing boost spiking or turbo lag etc..

from my understand, the yellow hoses is connected into the air intake for the turbo, correct?

The reason for this is to give a more accuarted boost setting. you get the one reading from the intak manifold another from the turbo intake.

i have seen this setup uses many times, so i dont think it is causing ur spiking problem

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
