Manual Boost Controller Line Fell Out, Please Help Not An Easy Fix

[reeceo21]

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 ?

On Turbo compressor housing or elbow off Turbo? Surely it can't be to hard to find. If you run your hands along the pipes a nipple should be noticeable

was it T-pieced?

[reeceo21]

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 ?

[reeceo21]

Question does anyone have a the nipple that would go onto the turbo ?

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.

[89CAL]

Valve stem........ NO

Pirtek or enzed will have a fitting

[Got a Pulsar]

hahaha... said it was a dodgy idea.

Cheers guys, It just evaded me as i was looking/feeling around for a nipple not a hole on my turbo hopefully there is a thread in there and a nipple screws in and will be happy days!

[reeceo21]

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 ) and still not found it lol
