... to be honest I haven't notice a massive difference between running low and high with economy. If you redline it and hit boost for most of the tank, you're still going to use heaps of juice. So really, it doesn't matter too much. The only way to save petrol is really just to stay off boost completely, but man, that is so damn hard :D

Pushhead, I don't speak for everyone one, but in my experience I have never taken the car off High boost. I wouldn't bother spending the money on a duel stage boost controller. I would just buy a GFB single stage, set it at 12 pounds, the safc tuned And leave it at that. Why do you want to run low boost aswell?

Thanks for the help. Just scared that if I leave the turbo running constant 10psi of boost that it would not last as long with a stock intercooler. thats why i kind of want a 2 stage boost controller. so when the time comes i can increase it to 10 psi.

umm if i play around with the safc settings, will it stuff up my car?

not sure guys. but really appreciated with all your help. Esp to this noob :D

errr dont scare me inasnt, but i installed the safc myself. .resetted the unit to factory settings (default), what if i leave it like that until i get it tuned? will this stuff it up also even though it is set to as default settings? there is no 'off' switch on the thing.

I didn't notice any. I leave the car on high all the time. Obviously if you thrash the car your goona use fuel. Its too frustrating to drive the car on stock boost!

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
