Could be a few things - missing the little ball inside the boost t? (is it brand new??)

You could have it installed in the wrong lines?

You could have changed the vaccume line and its too big now to control boost correctly etc.

Follow the DIY here on skylinesaustralia - its pretty straight foward... if you have any dramas pop me a PM and i'll see if i can give you a hand.

I can have a look for you and install it if it's not installed properly. Won't take more than 10mins, unless you've done something funky.

The last time I helped someone install one, they decided to install it on a line to the Carbon canister.

When putting in a T peice as a boost controller and its fully open and/or closed depending on what type it is you can creat "overboost". Popps/splutters and lack of grunt can occur during overboost. Included is air/fuel ratio, do you have an intercooler and some of the other upgrade gear like zorst, filter etc..

However if you heard a loud "pop" and then heaps o smoke it is likely the turbs is farked.

Get a mech to confirm your issue. To be sure to be sure.

BTW - 7psi is stock from memory and 14-15psi would be max (straight through, no restrictions)

try the traders on the forums,

but you have

slide

nengun

justjap to name a few

I'd get a mechanic to check it first. My turbo blew just recently, you'd want to get the car looked at to make sure it is in fact the turbo. and not the engine as well.

Not a good idea.

Some of the Traders may have just removed a working turbo to replace with an upgrade. Be very carefull buying second hand from an individual. Have it checked out or buy one that has been is my advice.

Go to the For Sales on SAU and check out some posts.

Cheers S!N

PS. Yup Slide :D for good advice

Oh and you could get Garret in Fyshwick to check it out ($60)

tryed puting the boost t on through the diy it mad a pop sound and now is blowing smoke so i am now thinking that the turbo is f**ked so pissed off any ideas

By the sound of it you have incorrectly installed the bleed valve (boost controller) and may have blown the turbo...

1. When it made the "pop" noise, were you revving the engine?

2. What line did you install the bleed valve in and are you sure that you didnt put it in upside down?

3. Have you tried removing the bleed valve and returning the engine to near stock, then starting it?

Where abouts are you located in Canberra? - If you need someone to check it I may be able to help.

P.S. Do NOT buy a second hand turbo... If you do need a new turbo, buy a new quality branded product from a reputable dealer or you may regret it in the long run.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I read your replies RE: R35 GTR MAFs, any ideal spots to put on? Obviously will need the adapter plate. Will be having a cross over intercooler fitted shortly, would putting it a bit before the TB be okay?
