Hey guys i was reading my boost gauge the other day thinking that my boost was set to 12psi. Its only reading 10psi. I have recently put a intercooler on and have resulted in the following setup for my boost controller.

Hes the situation. My boost controller - turbosmart one. is connected to the bov vacum line and the wastegate wtf.

Is this right? I also cant connect the vacum line to the turbo pipe as there is no plug to connect to. And i have already disconnected the stock boost controller.

any pics welcome, thanks in advance

Hey dude common problem with the turbosmart bleed valve, i had the same problem. Its different to fit on a 33 rather than a 32 or silvia which have the nipple on the compressor housing with the vaccum line running to the wastegate which u tap into, more over you have to re-route the factory controller into the new one. Basically u just have to fit the t-piece on the line going to the wastegate with the arrow pointing to the actuator, then route the rest the same as factory... this is how it should be fitted however this way still results in teh restricted boost but i have found from many people the only turbosmart valve that allows more boost is the manual single stage controller with twist knob, any of the staged controllers with a switch like i had for some reason restrict boost levels.
