Do a full exhaust first. The car will make more boost pressure by itself as it is taking away a restriction.

Upping the boost on a standard car won't give many gains as there are still large restrictions.

wondering if anyone can help me i have a hks ev00388 boost controller ive recently changed to bigger front mount but 1 vacume hose that use to go to the original intercooler piping dosnt have anywere to go can someone help ive tryed numerous ways but it just keeps boosting untill it hits boost cut and throws me around, i have 1 vac hose going to the turbo 1 going to the plenumand one that dosnt go anywere ?????? any help would be appreciated

The vac line that doesn't connect to anything, Is that the line that the other end connects to the boost controller? Because if the controller has no idea what boost the car is running it wont be able to regulate it.

So you have 3 vac lines coming out of the little black box?

That hose needs to go back into intercooler piping. As stated it controls boost.

you can get an air nipple welded or a screw in type from like repco of sorts.

Im sure this has been discussed many types, search intercooler, nipple.

jacked thread here... soz :P

But there is already 1 vac line going to the plenum that should be all the controller needs to tell what boost pressure the car is running. Why would you need 2?

just rip all that crap out and connect one side of the boost controller to the wastegate on the turbo and go to autobahn or repco and grab a little brass bard fitting and screw it in the cross over pipe( will have to drill and tap it first) then plug the other sside of the boost controller onto your bard fitting and hey presto your done. go for a drive and set it at around 10- 11 psi on a stock setup. anymore and well we all know what happens. lol

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
