I can make you a bleed valve for about $20 and send it to you then just T it into the line between the turbo and the wastegate.

What it does is bleed off excess boost and stops the wastegate openign as soon and thus allowing more gas onto the turbine wheels and there for makes more boost.

Thanks Cam, sounds real good, is it something l can put togther easy as l am sure you have better things to do than look after newbees like me, but l am gratefull for your offer and will gladly fix you up for your time amd expenses to build one for me... :P

my email is [email protected].

There are a few different types around but they can be hard to find so I will make you one and send it to you. private email me on [email protected] with your address and I will let you know the exact cost.

(Don 't worry, its no hassle, this is what the forum is all about dude)

For my boost i just disconnected the bottom hose on the boost solenoid and fitted a hose connector off a sprinkler system, then modified the size of the hole the air leaked out off. all up this cost me 50 cents and my boost is set at 10psi and never spikes, mind you i haven't done anything to my engine apart from exhaust and pod filter, maybe different for highly modded engines?

Yeh I use a bleed valve on mine with a different actuator as well that is heaps stiffer than the vg30 one. mine is filtered and also has a one way valve attached but really isn't necessary as it will not suck in that much air. I just wanted everyone to know that it is possible to distort fuel maps when fitted. I have a safc so it really doesn't matter anyway lol

Isn't it different for an R33? You are talking about an R32 right? I thought with an R33 you do the same thing but with the line to the boost solenoid...?

On a R33, its best to bypass the boost solenoid altogether. So tap the bleeder into a line going from intake piping (compressed side) to wastegate.

Also, for us non-fuel computer guys, it might be a good idea to recirculate air thats being bled off. That way, the ecu isn't fueling for air that isn't there and the engine doesn't run rich(er).

I have installed the valve in the line fromthe wastegate to air inlet pipe and have disconnected the solenoid valve, adjusted it up so my standard guage is nearly 3/4 now..approx 9psi..Made a nice difference in performance although i almost feel it cuts in a bit early....How far can l go safely..any suggestions....Considering +7 = 13.4psi..:burnout:

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
