hey guys, i need a hand with the settings on my boost controller and possibly where i've placed my vacuum lines and such.

i have a turbo back 3/3.5" exhaust with a high flow cat, front mount intercooler and a pod incase you need to know.

sounds pretty dumb but i don't know how to set the boost,

i thought one setting was 7 psi and the other at 10 but my boost gauge went up near 15 psi and i'm aware you shouldn't go over 13 psi on a stock turbo

the boost controllers pressure signal is tee'd in at the fuel pressure regulator and the gauge at the back of the plenum at the stock boost controller/gauge i'm not sure how accurate that is.

have the boost controller solenoid hooked up to the wastegate properly, i presumed the line coming from the intake pipe infront of the turbo was good enough for my pressure line then it said the 3rd port you vant to atmosphere but i have it venting into the intake pipe going to my intercooler

i have searched and read through the manual and searched some more

sounds like you have the solenoid lines wrong. run a line from the nipple on the cooler piping (after turbo) to the com port of the solenoid. then run a line from NO to the wastegate actuator and leave the 3rd port open to atmosphere (you could plumb it in before the turbo but its not needed, just make sure its not blocked and doesnt see boost).

ohh ok, yeah that makes sense. Thanks mate =)

i'm also thinking of moving the boost gauges Tee peice into the vacum line for the blow off valve

No you dont want to do that. T it in to the line that provides your fuel pressure reg with a vacuum signal.

If your lines are setup as per the diagram it should work fine.

Start off setting up the eboost with a reset. Then go for a drive and make sure its not overboosting. With everything reset to defaults it should run the lowest possible boost. Then, and only then should you start playing with the settings.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
