Hey people my names derrick im only new to this site and the whole skyline turbo issue. Recently bought a r32 gtst with min mods front mount intercooler, exhaust, 2.5 from motor 3 inch cat back, dual stage boost controller 7psi and 14psi by switch and ye stock turbo owned it for last 5 days or so seems 2day after driving home today went to give it a hit in boost didnt seem like it was going anywhere like "showed on boost gauge which is leaking 14psi" didnt feel that whole kick in the ass like it did earlier where it would wheel spin or whateva, but ye didnt move, was like turbo didnt work or went N.A. Still spools just felt this big ass lag but kms was still going up dont know how 2 describe it properlly, but seems like it backfires or pops when i give it flat than change gears.. hope im not confusing people. mates said could be a vacuum leak in one of the hoses, another said could be fuel pump so wondering with people who own one what could be the possible problems.

any help will do please

kind regards Derrick.

    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
    • I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.
