hey guys, sorry if this has been posted before, i recently installed my fmic on my 33. The cars runnin real bad, starting to jerk anything over 3rpm. Never done this before i installed the fmic. When i replaced the top cooler pipe (the one with the nipple) i noticed the new one dsoent have one? however i got some sort of blue pipe in the package? im unsure of where it goes as it says nothing in the instructions? Will that fix the problem? is it necessary to drill a hole in the top ic pipe to weld that little nipple back on? Im 99% sure the cars troubles are due to the fact that at the moment i have a screw blocking of the pipe which connected to the old intercooler top pipe, to prevent the car from having unlimited boost.

Obviously i dont no much about my car as yet, but thats my understanding so far, please correct me where im wrong.

Thanks heaps guys, any help would be greatly appreciated.

the pipe from the intercooler piping to the turbocharger actuator is part of the boost control system. if this is disconnected or removed you will run unlimited boost and risk your engines safety. you are getting jerky feeling from the stock ecu doing its self protection as theres too much airflow coming in. connect the pipe up a nipple on the intercoller piping and all will be well again

hey guys i installed the nipple thingy and connected it up, car runs immac now im rapt. Just one more question, my boost gauge now reads 5psi max, i pushed it and it wont go over five, im pretty sure these come out stock bout 7-8 pounds. i dont have an aftermarket boost controlller or anything. Is it normal to lose 2 psi? if i want my boost back up to standard will i have to purchase a bleed valve or boost controller now?

thanks heaps

hey guys, i didnt have a niple on mine, and the hose thats was previosly connected to the std nipple has now been t'd into the fuel pressure reg hose bottom of manifold.......is that ok, only thing is this way the hose goes across the cover and is long......it seems to read fine though? any thoughts?

^that setup is fine.

You can also use the vacuum/pressure feed going to the BOV so it doesn't run over the top of the engine.

When you get an aftermarket turbo(:mellow:) it will probably have a nipple fitting on the compressor housing that you can use.

    • from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It. 
    • Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.  
    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
