Hey people, im looking at my stock turbo, and my new turbo.. and the HKS one has a line running from the top of the turbo to the actuator.? how am i meant to set the boost unless the boost controller is between it?? I got one of them turbosmart boost t things.. And if its not meant to be set up like the line running from the top of the turbo to actuator, why do they send em out connected like that! so idiots like me hook em up and blow up the motor? im guessing that the factory one has the vacume line comming from elsewhere through boost controller to actuator? and having it at the top of turbo just stops messy vacume tubes running around engine bay?? I think i have decided not to put it on till i have the Z32, splitfire coils and injectors. otherwise its a waste of time going to get a tune every time i just add something on... what u's think?and anyone know where u can find a dump pipe thats in 2 peices that i can bolt the exhaust thingi that comes outta a HKS kit? factory dump pipe looks tiny

cut that line in half, slip in your boost bleed tap and adjust.

the factory just runs the feed from the intercooler pipe so it measures boost after the pressure drop that occurs across the crappy standard intercoolers.

you can run it from either source, just block off the feed you don't use.

Plus the actuator itself is usually set between 8-11 psi on the hks turbo, plus I recon when your done id get rid of that screw in T-boost thing and get a real electronic controller for this turbo as it certainly helps. IMHO. Plus the dump i had a hard enough time trying to find one especially if you dont buy the full kits like on nengun and the likes, so the only real option which i ended up having to go was actually getting a full split custom front/dump all in one, best idea yet id say.

Cheers

yeh bought the full kit from jps trading. it has the little dump pipe... but i think i need a little one to the cat.. mabee just get an exhaust shop to make?? i dont know.. and im going electronic controller.. but need coils and injectors first.. might get the apexi one that hooks up through the power fc.
