not sure if anyone gets this problem but i am new to the turbo scene. when i turn my boost controller on while driving the guys at "ovaboost performance" set it to run at 13psi just a couple of weeks ago (normally runs at 10 wen turned off). But sometimes wen i have the controller on im spiking at 14-15psi and sometimes my car just "backs off- i.e feels like the car is bunny hopping" if it hits that high. what causes the spikes and is the bunny hopping at 120km/h normal wen spiking?

anyhoo any help would be great

if your using the internal gate then boost spiking is normal, i set mine to around 11 and when it spikes it hits 13, just depends how hard it comes on boost.

if the boost spikes too high it will start to run out of fuel (this point depends on what car you have and what mods you have done, im going to assume its standard) also if they have left the factory boost control solonoid hooked up then that would'nt be happy seeing extra boost either, i know my 33 isnt a fan of 15psi and definately hated it when i changed the wrong setting in the avcr and hit 18psi.

as i have done maybe try setting your boost controller a little lower to allow for the spike, or get an external wastegate.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
