if you can't find anyone, use an "easy out" that you buy from the hardware store and DIY.

The new stud is referred to as an "Offset threaded stud", 8mm x 1.25mm threadpitch.

CALL CAPTAIN THREAD he is a top bloke and will come to ya house

+1 to Captain Thread. Comes to your house and when you want. Pretty quick and knows exactly what he is doing.

I had Captain Thread out this morning.

Set me back 110 pieces of money, but I couldn't care less. Could not get that f**king stud out to save my life. Tried half a dozen EZ outs (... I have a stockpile...), drilled all the way through the stud, back filled with CRC, still couldn't get it to budge.

Took Captain Thread less than 30 minutes to remove the stud, drill out the damaged thread (had to cut to old stud in half while it was still in the head), tapped a new thread, and then plugged a helicoil to suit a genuine stud in there.

$65 call out fee (North), $35 to remove the stud and fit a helicoil. Pretty f**kin' good as far as I'm concerned.

+1 to captain thread, used him twice now

Last time was on the 20 that was being prepped to go into my old 31

Two broken studs and callout fee to st Agnes was 90 bucks.

Fingers crossed I'll never need him again tho lol

currently have the same issue with two studs, and an ezy out tip which is broken in one of them making it a pain to try and "re" drill it out! may end up having to bite the bullet and call captian thread but im in adelaide hills so assuming the call out fee will be fairly pricey! he does fair bit of stuff for my work! does decent job!

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
