(Update Look at Second Post)hey guys i just bought a turbo skyline i updated from my non turbo , now this guy has hooked up a boost controller but there is vacuum lines going everywhere and it doesnt even work! , My mate looked at it and said its all over the place . It looks like there is a hose under where the acuator is that goes to a factory looking Y Peice. Then one end goes into my boost controller then the other end into the intake plenum . But the other peice going out the Y peice goes into where my BOV plumbs back . Does anyone have DETAILED PICS coz i can't find shit on this website how to hook it up and Cant find anything on Forums

OK had another more detailed look. Starting from the beggining , There is a Thinker looking Vacuum Line coming from what looks like to be a bolted on Hose T That comes off the turbo Just before where it pushes air into the Intercooler Pipe Just behind the Actuator , Like just 10cm away from it . THEN that goes into a Strange Looking y Peice thingo thats gold metal. Then the Bendier part of the Y Joins to where the Actuator thingo is on the turbo and the other straight Y peice now goes up towards the airbox which my Boost T is on arrow pointed towards Actuator and the Other bit coming out T peice goes into the Intercooler Pipe .. Is this right i need help asap as im outside doin it now lol

you've totally lost me...

The stock setup (from factory) has the intercooler pipe coming out of the turbo, on that pipe there is a nipple which a vac line is connected. That line goes to the stock solinod, then 2nd line on the solinod goes to the turbos actuator. You will need to disconnect all of that.

Now, run a line from the nipple on the intercooler pipe to the boost controller then have the line coming from the boost controller to the turbos actuator. Theres shouldnt be hoses left right and centre., just two. Make sure you connect the lines in the right way, otherwise it wont work and you'll overboost. Also have a quality boost gauge to check what boost your running, the stock one wont do, its SHIT.

should be very easy

intercooler pipe---> boost controller ---> wastegate

everything else, block them up. follow them back to where they come from and block them as short as possible, keeps it tidy and also means you know they werent being used for anything else.

factory setup is complex because it plumbs back what it bleeds off

You can try and block it off with a screw for now, then get a proper plug tomorrow.

Block off that turbo outlet. Strange place to run a hose. That boost tee should be inline with your pipe then to the boost tee then to the actuator.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
