I'm only guessing, but maybe the hoses to your boost T are back the front?

I followed Shorty_01 pics/notes in the post above dated Oct 2. 2010, also I have the same turbotech and it worked a treat.

Me being me, I suggest double check the instructions that came with boost T, again compare pics peeps have posted, re-check the hoses as they go through / come out of that rubber sleeve in case they have twisted around and not in the sequence expected.

yeah i agree with ^^. Sounds like the MBC is backwards.

If you are getting the exact same boost as before installation then it is having no impact. Either it faulty internally or backwards. (assuming everything else is connected properly)

When you say .5bar what is giving you that reading? the stock boost gauge is not in bar, and the stock wastegate is closer to .4 bar. If not using an aftermarket boost gauge i recommend installing one before installing the mbc so you can closely and accurately measure the changes as its easy to go into overboost which may cause other issues even though the ecu does have safe guards in place.

I currently have a Greddy boost gauge. 

I’m confident that it’s resdy correctly. Well as confident as I can be!

checked the MBC, and the hoses are connected correct. Double checked. 

Only guess is a faulty MBC. 

Damn..

Thanks pal. After checking everything. I did think.. shiz did I even adjust the thing! 

Luckily I had. Been playing with it, but getting nothing.

I guess my next step would be to remove the mbc and just run the hose straight from cooler to gate and see if theres any change.

that should give you basic wastgate pressure of about 5-6psi (below .5bar)

How is the mbc conected directly to the wastegate? I'd think you would have to use a hose.

Check All connections again make sure they are all zip tied or clamped really tight. triple check the blocked hose as well.

What was the set up before you installed this? factory solenoid as in the OP pics?

then maybe return it to stock to see if there is any difference and make sure the two stage solenoid is working as normal, 5psi then 7psi (close to .5bar)  This will show that you can get boost higher then the gate spring.

 

And show us some more pics, might be able to spot something.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
