How's it going everyone,

 

Having a bit of trouble on my Mamba GTX3071 with .73 rear housing on my rb25.
I've got the 18psi spring in the wastegate, but for some reason it wants to boost boost over 25psi, it doesn't seem like it wants to stop?
It holds smooth until about 4500 rpm then goes crazy.

 Things I've tried:

- Went from split dump to bell mouth dump (didn't help)
- Shoved compressed air in wastegate to make sure it opens (it opens)
- Filmed the wastegate while driving (it opens)
- Boost leak tests (no leaks)
- Tried weaker spring, tried stronger spring (still over boosts)

Has anyone had this type of problem with these turbos before?
Saw a video where SAMMIT ported out the wastegate hole, but to me it looks like it's quite large already?

Yeah you'll need to port out the wastegate hole and run a larger flap (if possible), alternative is to just weld up the wastegate port and run a gate off the stock manifold (don't delete the stock divider).

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:

      Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

      By Hexi · Posted

      Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"

      From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.

      Yeah, but the country is turning to a bit of shite at the moment... (Majority of work is NZ'ers, and we have an office in NZ I deal with daily...)

      Trans oil cooler off a Stagea

      If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.
