I bought a EBC just like that, but not hybrid, Turbotechnics. And it spikes.... god knows why - But if I turn up the sensitivity so it doesn't spike the soliniod vibrates and rattles its tits off when the car isn't going but the key is on?

Hi brisbane skyline, well i havent got a camera to show you, but i'll tell you how i did it. I used the line from the wastegate on the turbo and used the line coming of the plenum. There is like two outputs on the plenum close to each other, just t piece into one of them, and should have no probs

good luck:)

Hey,

Do you absolutely need a MAP sensor for it to run? I thought it'd have an inbuilt one.. My car doesnt have one. Its an S14 and it seems as if the MAP sensor has been removed. But the ECU doesnt complain in diag mode..

I bought my hybrid boost controller for 325 delivered, and basically it does the same thing as a 2 stage turbosmart bleed setup except for the extra $30 it is processor controlled so it doesnt spike. I don't have any problem with the slight boost guage movement (don't feel it) Its worth getting if you don't have the extra $ for a better brand name one, i'd never install some spikey POS bleed setup in my car.

The in cabin controller fits well when stuck to your ashtray flip door thingy. Overall if you are thinking of getting a 2 stage bleed setup, just spend the few extra $ and get the hybrid EBC.

    • But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

    • After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
