Check that all the lines are connected.....that would be the only reason as to why it would be over/free boosting.....from memory R32 actuators are meant to hold 10psi all day every day....if that doesnt work then i would certainly try the boost controller method.....and if still not working then i guess the actuator could be shagged....

took iut foir a run and when i camer back looked at the gate and it was open a little and it seems to wanna go past 10 psi could it be cause of the way the piping is from the actuator to the intake piping???

wheres the line with ya finger go ????atm i have a straight piece of pipe go to the in the top cool pipiing ie intake pipe a little be4 throtle bodyi only have one line from actuator tio i c pipe am i spose to have this one that seems to go no where??

Take ALL the factory vac lines off. take the 'T' piece out too.

Run ONE line from the intercooler piping to the actuator.

And Put a blank over the hole where the 3rd line would have gone on the intake pipe.

Done.

Here, i know how hard it is sometimes with describing how to route a line on the internet, so hope this helps.

This is Exactly how MY R33 is set up with an R32 actuator. No Solenoids, bleed valves or EBC's. Straight actuator boost.

All you need to do is run a vac line from the wastegate actuator to the intake manifold/pressurised i/c pipe. All the rest of the vac lines can just be blocked off/looped.

Unless the actuator is fecked you should be getting 10psi all day. If you are getting less, do the Rev210 intake mod, as my intake pipe was sucking shut at only ~10psi.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
