Story goes i was pulling all intake pipes off and surrounding things like manifold heat shield to tighten up my manifold bolts to try and help my leaking problem.

Anyways put it back together and went for a drive (still tick tick tick) planted it and was at 18psi :/ under investigation the hose that goes to the pressure side e.g intercooler has come off the manual boost controller :( I have looked for over 2 hrs pulled everything off again and still couldnt find it. I had 2 mates who also had a good look and also came up negative. I feel like i have searched for yoinks and still cant work it out. Here is some info that may help assess the problem

-FMIC, Some generic brand

-RB25det S1

-Turbotech boost controller

I have checked all intercooling pipes for a nipple, turbo and joiners, inlet manifold. i defiantly feel as if im missing something. The hose is about 60cm long so it can be anywhere 60cm away from the wastegate if that helps. Also if i shake the boost controller i can hear a ball rattling in there does that mean its broken ?

No it wasnt t-pieced. Now i have found a small hole on the turbo that im assumming once housed the nipple and it has fallen off. Any idea were to get the nipples from ?

I was thinking that perhaps there could've been a nipple on the turbo... :/

Just a dodgy thought but... I wonder if a valve stem off a bike tube would fit in there?

Crazy dodge but it might work. :)

Well that hole is actually nothing, Have taken off the whole manifold, turbo and surrounding piping (to change manifold gasket not to find the nipple :P) and still not found it lol

      Not going to lie. When I just saw this, for a moment I thought it was an interior shot of a VN Commodore...

      Nah, apparently the way to do it is just mess with how much timing the engine uses to try to correct idle. So it massively undershoots, then overshoots, then undershoots, then overshoots. So timing is going from 5deg to 45deg to 5 deg to 45deg. But I kinda prefer the car to not lurch around and have a dependable idle. Given it didn't idle for shit and stalled about 7 times on the way home, still yet to drive it for the 2nd time to see if it's fixed.

      Alright. Many little things have been sorted and the car successfully drove home with an incredibly huge exhaust leak. Unsure if it's simply been awhile, but new heads and cam and intake sound f**kin awesome. It might only be me that notices it though, and it's hard to tell from a 15 minute gauntlet run home and attempting to bleed the radiator. Undertrays on, tools out, road brake pads in, idle un-f***ed, time to do some road tuning. From my commute around town it sounds and drives *really* nice (with a max of like 35% throttle). It'll go to a dyno for a proper before and after once the tune is more roughly dialled in. And @Dose Pipe Sutututu I did learn how to do a proper chop tune at idle. I did indeed even do it, but the car shaking around at idle from the driverr seat made me make it smooth again.. I feared for my engine mounts and clerances to engine bay jank. . After the exhaust is fixed I may mess around with it more. I'm just happy to have it drive around without bucking or stalling which is a WIP.
