Hey guys,

Ok im getting a manual boost controller and ive just got some questions on the installation casue i really do not wanna stuff this up lol. Car is a 1996 R33 s2. I know you have prob been asked these questions a million times but i just want some clarifacation. Ive done a search on here and its been helpful but all the pictures are missing from the posts and its hard to work out exactly what to do.

From my understading (and correct me if im wrong please!) i have to place the actual unit on the hose between the wastegate and the turbo. Basically i cut the line and connect the hoses to the 2 nipples that come on the controller. Which way does the arrow have to point?

Secondly i need to know what to do with the solenoid that currently controls the boost. I have heard that i take off the 2 hoses that go to the solenoid, but do i block them off? Some pics of ppls engines with a boost controller installed would be really helpful so i can get a visual of what im doing!

Thanks in advance, any input in much appreciated!

my boost controller is plumbed in between the actuator and my intake piping (as close to throttle body as possible). I think you can use the same hoses that connect to your original solenoid. because you are basically changing one solenoid for another.

your not cutting anything your removing the T piece linking standard solenoid to actuator blocking bottom line off solenoid with small bolt, connecting mbc between i/c piping & actuator. somewhere on here is instructions & photos

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
