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.

    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
