Probably best not to until someone who knows what theyre doing says something lol

But i wouldnt leave it without a hose connected to it... run the hose through a hole in the engine bay somewhere or down out of the way.

And make sure you have the T peice the right way... ie. arrow towards the actuator... not towards the Turbo and the bottom part (red part of the T) runs to the controller (which until you get it turned on a dyno should really be completely closed)

it works as in in-out type device

be careful when messing around with boost control, if you do it wrong your car will run unlimited boost. that is, if you load the car up and its setup wrong boost wont stop rising so youll just do damage or fry something

intercooler pipework -> hose -> stock valve IN -> stock valve -> stock valve OUT -> turbocharger actuator

on the black intercooler pipes there is a nipple already. it has a tube on it that runs to where the turbocharger is.

its about the same size if not a bit thinner then the red tubing in the photo. you basically interject your unit in replace of the stock boost solenoid

intercooler pipework -> hose -> turbosmart boost valve IN -> turbosmart boost valve -> turbosmart valve OUT -> turbocharger actuator

so basically find the stock boost solenoid and replace it for your turbocsmart device then away you go.

the device is next to the right suspension tower, its attached almost next to it. with two tubes that run to it and some wires.

undo the tubes from this and run them to your turbosmart device. drive around and experient.

as you load the engine up watch the stock boost guage and make sure it doesnt hit +7 if it does, youve done it wrong and are running unlimited boost (this is bad)

all you do is replace the standard boost controller in the r33 with the one you bought. it acts in the same manner that the standard1 works. bottom hose on standard, to bottom port on new, and same for the top.

providing your standard boost solenoid is set up correctly, you should be fine.

ill get a pick later tonight of my set up of the standard solenoid and point out on the pic where the pipes go.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
