    LOL!!! ya grumpy bugger...
  6. Thats the sort of thing i'm after
  7. Ah well.. that can go in the Hell no bin then... Hoping to find an EBC for around the $200 mark.. nothing flash just want something reliable..
  8. Ok so I'm looking at one of these babies of trade me... What do you guys think? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Performance/Electronics/auction-234753280.htm
  9. funky. flick me a txt. would be good to get out of motel for a while. number is 0272758950
  10. If anybody has a cheap EBC laying around. Or is willing to swap one for a set of nice KYB shocks fitted with nearly new king superlow's I would be one very happy boy.. And now i have to spend the rest of the week rolling round Wellington on a Bloody Sales trip!! GRRRR
  11. No not yet. Haven't had time to take it out an try the T turned round the other way. Thinking about trying to find a cheap EBC.. Mrs has closed the cheque book for now.. :'(
  12. What sort of liter prices are we talking.. I'm coming down for a three day sales trip next week and may chuck a couple of containers in the company car..
  13. LOL.. That's the same way i do my timing!!
  14. Will find out tuesday... Mrs told me today that i must have done something wrong because it wasn't running right.. Looks like the different wastegate was the reason.. I will use my day off Tuesday to try it out and see what happens.. Hopefully i will get it sorted before next trackday..
  15. Thanks for the help guys... Mrs was wrong!!!! I didn't fuck something up!!! Not this time anyway.
  16. Will do.. Plan for tuesday is.... Install tap as a restrictor. Wind out all the way and go up from there.. Will be checking for 14psi in 3rd 4th 5th gears If you live near me hope you don't get pissed off with me doing about six hundred runs past your house LOL!!!!
  17. Yeah it's all fresh hoses.. gave me the shits when i saw the gauge shoot up. So i backed off real quick.. I just don't want to break anything trying to set it up LOL
  18. That's what I'm worried about.. I was losing boost in the higher gears pushing thev f10 past the point trying to hold 14psi i think. I'm trying to hold a steady 14psi on the track.. Not worried about 1st 2nd gears. Just want steady 14psi 3rd 4th 5th. wonder if i could get the vf10 actuator to fit???? Then i could control it via the standard controller.. *heads off to shed for look and head scratch..*
  19. I stole that from another forum i found doing a search* smacks hand for doing copy n paste* I tried it backwards and it still didn't behave.. Might try it as a restrictor and see what happens.. Got a day off tuesday so will try then.
  20. The "T" piece gets spliced in, arrow towards waste-gate, between vacuum source and waste-gate, the "Controller" comes from the Black-Port on the Top of the "T" to the Top-Port (Adjuster end) of "Controller", and just vents to Atmosphere out the Bottom-Port. The arrows on the thing are completely wrong. After doing some research on how wastegates work and how the check valve is setup (the "T" part). I believe the knock-off company did not actually do the research when they made the stickers. The knock-off "T" has the spring and ball set up a different way then the "TurboSmart" one. In the "TurboSmart" setup the ball is against the inlet side, the knock-off is on the wastegate side. They both function the same, but use different techniques. You can check by blowing through the "T" fitting on the top and seeing where the air comes out... the free flowing side is the wastegate side. Because it does not matter if there is a vacuum leak on the wastegate side as is does not use vacuum pressure. The idea is under vacuum the ball is pressed against the opening by the spring stopping any air from going to the wastegate or the venting boost controller. And when you have boost, the ball pushes against the spring and moves the ball out of the way allowing the airflow through to the wastgate and boost controller. "TurboXS" used to do this with little rubber gaskets, that when under vacuum seated and sealed and under boost pushed out of the way venting boost pressure. The check valve design also makes it so depending on spring tension (like a BOV or Wastegate spring) it requires a certain amount of boost (pressure against the ball) in order to even let the boost pressure pass by to the wastgate actuator. Making it so the actuator does not creep open before your peak boost. The entire point of the check valve is to stop you from having a constant vacuum leak to atmosphere when using the Manual Boost Controller. Hooked up this way the kit works perfectly. ---NOTE--- Wastegates work exactly opposite a BOV... but do the same thing. Wastgates use boost pressure to compress a diaphragm spring rated to compress under a certain amount of load to actuate a valve. IE: When you have positive/boost pressure of 7psi-ish on your vacuum line, a 7psi rated Wastegate actuates and opens the "Wastegate-valve" allowing exhaust gases to bypass the turbo thus creating less boost. Blow Off Valves use vacuum pressure to suction a diaphragm with a spring rated to compress under a certain amount of load to actuate a valve. IE: When you have negative/vacuum pressure of 7psi-ish on your vacuum line, a 7psi rated BOV (most are more like 17psi rated springs hence the adjuster screw) actuates and opens allowing the excess boost in front of the closed throttle body to be vented without back-flowing into the turbo. Am i better to get rid of the t piece altogether and use the tap as a restriction type controller?
  21. I have one of these. I had a go at setting it up but got either over or wastegate.. Couldn't seem to control it at all. Is there something i'm doing wrong or need to do?
  22. So i guess that means i have to go to an EBC...? Mrs is gonna love paying for that too!!. Or is there another way it can be done?
  23. Ok so i installed a TD05H into my 90 RS today. Now i seen to be having a boost spike problem.... i am using the stock boost control solenoid. When i am running the car on my standard chip i get 10-11 psi fairly stable. When i swap it to the race chip (which is supposed to run 14psi.) the boost spikes up to 16i and over until i sook out and back of when she pops..... It feels like the wastegate is not opening at all. .( i installed a switch off the ecu so i can turn off the mod chip and run back on standard chip.) The turbo i took off was a VF10 an it seemed to be able to hold 14psi quite well until the VF10 run out of puff higher up in the rev range.. Is there any trick i need to know to do with running a TD05H on the stock boost control with Mod chip? Or am i missing something. Any help would be great guys..
  24. as a past victim of 3 BEB'S i can in fact confirm that she is toasted..... Sorry bro...
