Trying to read between the lines here , are you attempting to beat a boost creep issue by doing this ?

A problem can exist where people think the waste gate acts as a pressure relief valve which its not intended to do . It is possible at times to make the situation worse by giving the exhaust manifold pressure greater area with which to act on and force the flap valve open . If exhaust manifold pressure (turbine inlet pressure) is the problem the usual fix is a larger AR ratio turbine housing or smaller compressor / compressor trim .

Cheers A .

it's a stock turbo, but it creeps up to 10.6 psi. How else can i cure the problem? I tried to controll boost any which way i can, but if you connect it directyl form the IC i get 10.6 psi, with the gate fully open, still 10.6 psi. I have a stock BOV which has been pressed in a little, about 5 mm, but the problem started to occur long before that was done, actually it was just after the dump was changed. So i pressume boost creep is due to the wastgate.

Can somone elaborate. I have read heaps of pages on the internet, all regarding creep, and it all point to the wastgate.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
