Hey guys... Just having a few problems with my boost control at the moment. All of a sudden it over boosted up to 30PSI. Now it runs unlimited boost. I pulled off my waste gate and everything is running smoothly. No broken spring or valve. Its only 4 weeks old.

I've clamped the vac line that goes to the top of the waste gate and it regulates the boost now

I don't get why you need 2 vac lines going to the waste gate?? Don't they fight against each other

Should i pick up my vacuum from somewhere else other than idle bypass valve? Should i run just a boost tap style setup

Below is a picture i drew up of my external waste gate setup. Running a t04z

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks guys :D

I wouldnt take the boost signal from where you are, id drill, tap and screw in a hose barb to your intercooler pipe just after the turbo, use new hose, run straight from the cooler pipe to the bottom of the gate. Unplug the top. That way you eliminate any chance of cracked pipes or hoses, and boost spikes.

If it still overboosts then theres a prob with your gate.

If it runs reasonable boost (whatever spring you have in the gate), then T off that line for your solonoid, similar to how it is now for the top part of the gate.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
