Bro

Yeah I might try that and wanted to do that initially, but gave up as it was too damn hard to get to the turbo end of the hose without taking other crap off, but looks like I will have no choice but to try now, thanks.

Hi all, I installed a turbodumb (sorry smart) bleed valve on my brothers gtst r32. It all seemed to be easy enough, only one hose running off wastegate going to turbo, stuck the bleed valve in and went off to testing. Here's where the problems start Before the bleed valve with full exhaust/pod the car was running around 10psi. At first I had the turbosmart valve turned right down, went for a drive, still was running 10psi...the short story is that no matter how many times I turned the bleed valve to increase boost it was still the same, 10psi. So I thought I might have it on the wrong way, no checked that, definately the right way. Then I thought maybe a wastegate problem, so I disconnected the hose from the wastegate went for a quick run, and without flooring it completely, sure enough the guage went up to around 13-14psi. So I thought, good not a wastegate problem, must be the controller. To make sure it was 100% the controller, I took it off and stuck it on my car (180sx) I again wound it back to the lowest setting and went for a drive in my car...and lo and behold I only boosted to about 7-8psi (which is what it should do at fully closed) So now I'm completely out of ideas, the controller is obviously working, the wastegate seems to be working, and I'm pretty sure it's all setup correctly, afterall there is only one hose from the wastegate as far as I can tell, any ideas would be much appreciated as I'm quite confused, thanks.

You obviously have had much different experiences to myself and at least 2 of my mates who went there, I won't be going back in a hurry.

RB26 with t76? no not exactly stock

Shhh stock, you started it... - points at stock -

I have a 180sx, stock body/rims, I could've spent the money on the looks (which I really would have liked to have done) but instead I spent it in performance so I can hose the whales lol.

Yes that's what I thought and hence my comments about "crazy piping" if they indeed were intercoolers. Radiator maybe? or just crazy big brake coolers? heh who knows

I've always wondered since the first time I saw a 911 turbo (996 model) and those gt2's...there must be some crazy piping involved, they are mid-engined cars??

You dyno'd at 218kw but estimate 220-230kw on the day? how come? more then 14.7psi for the 1/4 ? just wondering, thanks

PM sent, waiting for reply.

I'm in the market for a r32 (gts-t) and have found what appears to be a nice example. My only query is it has ~125k's on the clock. What are people opinions on this much km's on a r32? anyone have this amount on their current car, how does it go, what things should I look out for etc, thanks.
