I've had my r32 GTR for nearly a week now and i'm still getting to know the ins and outs of it. I've just managed to get the boost gauges working and have discovered that the car is running with 13 psi boost. The guy I bought it off said that it had standard turbo's running standard boost. I've searched all over the engine bay and I can't see any sign of a boost controller or bleed valve. I had a look at the turbo's and they have got Garrett on them. Am I right in thinking that standard turbo's are IHI jobbies?

The car has a full aftermarket exhaust system including hi flow cat and pod filters. Does this amount of boost sound right with these mods without the use of a controller/bleed valve? How many different model Garrett turbo's are there for the gtr?

Where's the restrictor and how can I tell if its been removed?

On the driver's side suspension tower, you'll see 2 small black hoses going into a silver cylindrical gadget.

On one of the hoses there may be yellow band, this is where the restrictor is placed. Whoever did the job may have just cut the restrictor out instead of kneading it out, so you may not have the yellow band.

In any event, this is where it goes.

Yeah I've seen this. If thats the case then the restrictor is still there.

Squeeze the band to see if there's a solid brass ring in it. The band may be there but the restictor may also have been removed.

      I have a projecta one.  A proper trickle charger can be left attached 24x7, that's what the trickle bit is about.

      With an electronic boost controller, there are settings available to limit overboost.

      Ah ok, my tuner did adjust something on the percentage cycle on the boost controller, instead of running at 40% the tuner put it on 20% to compensate for the overboost, can't remember what it was. Not duty cycle don't think, and told me if it keeps overboosting, it's going to be something else. I think he mentioned the turbo actuator.

      Which trickle charger does everyone use? I'm going on holidays in the future, and last time it was left for a couple weeks off twice per time, and don't want to keep doing it to damage my battery so looking to have something hooked up to the battery which connected to the car, as I need to keep my immobiliser system on. If the battery goes flat it will mess up my security system (already happened once) I was looking at the following, so can have someone turn it on every couple of days and run it overnight then turn it off)   https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/noco-noco-genius-5-battery-charger-6v-12v-5-amp/648987.html?cgid=SCA01060203#srsltid=AfmBOoq4kzQgrm1YHSZT0DzaCwVwwOcevgu0TSDcUvrNeOqI-0S5xJ1C&start=1   https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/century-century-cc1206-xli-12v-1-3-6a-9-stage-battery-charger/693006.html?cgid=SCA01060203#srsltid=AfmBOoq4kzQgrm1YHSZT0DzaCwVwwOcevgu0TSDcUvrNeOqI-0S5xJ1C&start=30   though these don't say anything about trickle charging, don't want it to overcharge the battery.
