Hi guys after the Boost Sensor for an R34 if you've got one. Has to be in good working nick, replacing mine because it's intermittantly going crazy on me. <-- here is the part in fast. Cheers Howie

I think the gauge is cactus, had it all calibrated up a number of times, and one sneeze it'd go out of wack. So no luck on it, time to go hunting on a new one I think. Thanks for trying to help, much appreciated, at least i know what the insides of them look like It's all good fun learning.

You bloody champion. Well i've taken a small pictorial of what stage i'm up to right now... out comes the face like a can of tuna seperate the face from the gauge remove the rear bolt this is where i'm at.. i'm not quite sure how to lever the pin into the right position from here, how'd you get the weight to stay in the right spot?

Please don't go too far out of your way buddy. If it's a hassle, i'll try to work it out from your instructions.

I started taking it out from the front, then scratched it and thought to myself I really should exhaust all other options first. Anyhow it'll probably be binned or relegated to a playstation cabinet if it's not fixed. Edit : Thinking about it logically, it must be assembled from the front in the factory, so naturally you'd think it'd come out from the front also.

Just having a look, this ain't gonna be easy to open. I'll need some sort of special tool to take the special bolts off at the end of each of those threads. But i'll see if i can do it with a few mobile phone toolsets. Thanks again.

Gidday guys, Yep it's a mechanical - has a turbo/split dump pipe, but the restriction's in the rest of the system. No boost controller, so no way it'd be running 0.9bar. I think i'll have to adjust it like you say. let you know how i go.

Thanks heaps guys. Just having a chat to satanic just then, and he's theory seems to fit in best, the face plate may have rotated when i put the gauge in the a-pillar (it was a bitch to fit in and i was grabbing and twisting the hell out of the thing). I'll check it out again tonight. Cheers again guys most helpful bunch over at sau.

Thanks mate, Well this is the model of the boost gauge in question. Guessing it should be a quarter way down from where it is there on idle and zero when not connected.

damn, houston we have a problem then. i suspect my baby nephew or niece was playing around with it. LOL thanks for your help mate.

Hey guys, Just a quick question.. i've got a greddy boost gauge that i suspect might have a fault. but i'm not too sure... so my question is , should a boost gauge read zero when not it is not connected to anything at all. mine's currently sitting at 0.5 bar. yet when it is connected up, and idling it sits on zero - however the readings appear to be far too high (around 0.9bar when it should be 0.5-0.6bar). any ideas? cheers Howie

You can get a bottle of diamond cut for around $30 bucks from rare spares, but most places including autobarn have the diamond cut in stock.

Use foam weather strips that you would normallly use between door jams. The type that you can peel off on one side to reveal an adhesive. I use that on anything from the cold air ducts to the gaps around my panels when soundproofing my boot.

Gidday bud, lo and behold it arrived last night. i'll stick in the boost gauge first (thanks stan for tips on this btw), then check that it's accurate, then give the turbotech a shot. I'll grab some pics (maybe a video too) for the R34 so you can do your install when the time comes. Cheers Howie

Hiya Stan, Thanks mate, clear as mud now (hehe). QRI05E just sent me that photo... makes much more sense now. Cheers heaps, i think i'm sorted out. I'll take some photos during the install and post it up here in case anyone runs into this thread needing help. Howie

Wouldn't happen to have a pic from your 34 install would you stan?

So make a cut where the red line is, insert the boost contoller there, and then which line do i bung up? And do you take the brass piece (pictured on top in photo) out of the equation totally thereby bypassing the solenoid?

Sweet beanz Stan

Hiya fellas, I've just picked up a turbotech manual boost controller and i'd just like some pointers before I start. My question is : Is the pipe i've put a red arrow to on this picture the line to the wastegate actuator? If so is that where I should fit the turbotech boost controller ? Thanks very much all, Howie

Use a strong cut on it like meguires diamond polish. See my thread under general maintenance, i had some really stubborn stains which wouldn't come out.

that's nice mate... thanks for posting that

Say i was looking at my G-Tech performance meter the other day, and noticed that it's made by Tesla also. Is this the same company?

Nah way that just looks wrong. I've seen what it looks like without the side bits in real life, and it's worse than with the side bits. Either all on or all off.

I'd rather not say on a public forum, if you'd like to know pm me.

That's amazing stuff.
