Hi all,

Just to let u guys know that i did some experimentation with where to connect the vacuum line from the top of the blow off valve to the intake manifold etc. I have read in some instruciton forums etc that connecting the vacuum line to the throttle body will provide vacuum when the throttle is closed.... i did not have any success with this , as the valve would only activate when i eased off the throttle slowly, not when i took my foot straight off.

I have since split the line running to the wastegate, and connected the blow off valve through there (not sure if mine is a standard vacuum hose adaptor, however it is located to the bottom right of the throttle body on the manifold, if u were looking the same way as the flow path).

It seems to work fine, with no boost spikes or anything from the wastegate sharing its vacuum source.

Any comments, would be appreciated... aka, have i just created a time bomb :OP

i only just hooked my BOV up and it was through the basic knowledge that i had...and believe me its basic. i seem to have a whole lot more hoses than everyone else. but its stil workin fine. i think it feels like it doesnt hit full boost til 4Gs instead of 3Gs as it always did when it wasnt hooked up tho. i took a few pics here they are. most ppl have their BOV's closer to the throttle body than i do. has anyone else hooked it up similar to this?? or am i a d1ckhead. :bonk:

P.S. im not too good with a digi camera and shrinking the pics to fit so sorry if they are crap.

      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.
