I used to just stick the 20l container behind the passenger seat wrapped in a towel so it wouldn't rock around too much.

Must have setup it up wrong. Does it look like the arm is extending fully? To me it looks like it would be so I'm not suspecting a clingy gate. I had to swap my core and front cover with a known good turbo (same same) as my bearings in the old turbo were fooked hard, perhaps they weren't special a while ago when it was tuned.. I was very careful getting everything marked and fitted the same (anal farkin) + had the preload fitted back the same at half a hole. Everything slotted back together nicely. So it's the healthier turbo and shorter intake that has made the change...? Maybe back off the preload more? Does the factory boost controller demand a certain boost and the computer adj. flow to the act. or is it more of a "fixed setup" where it is what it is from when it was tuned and mech. changes to the say rod length will alter the boost "accordingly"? It's ran around the 18's-19's psi for a fair while now without boost issues. I've seen BTA get a rock solid 18psi from start to finish tune done in no time too so I have confidence in the port job.

That's actually exactly how I fitted it (12lb act.) up originally, half a hole like you said. I've since turned the front housing clockwise 8mm from ref. which should bring point to point closer together but the boost remains exactly the same. Starting to 2nd guess the factory controller. Today I hook up some air pres. with a fairly inaccurate measure (haha) of roughly 10psi-12psi I could here the act. click as it fully relaxed, though it took up to around 20+psi for the gate to open fully like the video shows. How touchy are these actuators when it comes to adj.? I mean is say a half turn or full turn make or break so to speak?? Here is how it looks now while boosting

Might stick with 6.30PM arrival 7pm dep., sorry if I confused anyone with that b4 ment pm not am. Really looking forward to this cruise aye, it's been too long since the cars been for a good drive. Angel are you coming??

Morning or arvo?

Anyone know if this is enough movement from the actuator or if it looks about right? I have set the actuator to fully close at 12lb yet I'm still over boosting. Only real dif. is I've made the intake pipe about 300mm shorter, same size pipe.

Where abouts do you live?

7 better? Your call bud

I was thinking 6.30 dep. from mcgraths hill maccas. It's going to be a fairly long cruise so we don't wanna go till too late IMO.

Incase anyone wanted to know the ferry runs 24/7 http://www.hawkesburytourism.com.au/hawkesbury-ferry.html

24/7 bud http://www.hawkesburytourism.com.au/hawkesbury-ferry.html

rotated the front housing a tad clockwise

sorry that the maps dont line up, but ya get that.... Saturday 11/1/14 Meet at 6:30pm for a Departure Time - 7pm There is a lot of windy roads on this run, its a big drive and will req. a fair bit of concentration. Basically back roads from Mcgraths Hill maccas thru Galston, up pacific, get fuel cut around wisemans ferry road, over the ferry back to mcgraths hill maccas. I will start from Mcgraths Hill maccas but we can meet up at the Mt Colah Maccas too if that suits other people but you would miss out on some good roads like the gorge and what not.. Please forward any other ideas or options this is just something I have put together quickly as I have a bit on at the moment.

Did I miss a post? Edit. Got it

I'll try n draw something together tonight. Anyone have anywhere in particular they like to stop or drive through? I'll be putting a servo stop at the caltex in gosford for us eflex fellas

Pin

X2 for the 11th

I'm thinking 11th or 18th someone (too lazy to check ) couldn't make it 1st wknd back.. Night time ftw IMO but happy for Sunday early early too if that's what's happening

So are we warming up to settling on a date?

Reckon it's worth upping the intake to a 4"?

Nah bud, got promoted so now it's mon-fri these days

Agree

Some blokes meet up at alternate places to ride together until the final meeting point. Is a trip to gosford and back sounding long winded to anyone? Some nice roads there and back though it would take a few hrs

Sshhh don't ruin it
