If they are in the recirc location use the original vac line. If they are in the engine bay just route your own vac line to any from the balance bar.

Safety boost on EBC
yep jim the black rectangular ones. Its all sorted now, on a regular analogue gauge it would read just under 1 bar, or 14psi, but because its super accurate it moves around a little from 13.6 to 14.3, its nothing at all to worry about. Have you ordered a wide band? because i had a glowshift A/F gauge and it played around with the o2 sensor signal and gave duff readings.

My rebuild
I would do anything to be in a situation to be able to afford to do that, good work. Someday...

Thorny subject "tyres"
Goodyear eagles are a really really good tyre, Toyo proxes are quite grippy but do slip from time to time and wear down quickly Falken 452's i find really slippy, ok for turning but they seem to spin on boost a lot and they're shite in the wet IMO

exhaust smells in car
they are pushy flaps that normally flap in a slight breeze, cant imagine one getting stuck to be honest. You cant miss them behind the plastic

What xbox 360 game to get next?
You have to use the 'soul trap' spell or scroll on a bad dude. you have a timelimit depending on level, the bad dude has to die within the time limit for you to trap the soul. The tougher the bad guy the the better the gem will become, the gems can be used to recarge weapons or sell for top dollar. note: some baddies cannot be soul trapped

Safety boost on EBC
Sorted, the boost solenoid live wire was split about 3mm from the casing, so ive solder it as best as i can and taped the wires back, it now controls boost! Its not as steady at high boost as they have been in the past, possibly something to do with it being a twin turbo?

Gave retrimming a go, not the best finish but i suppose its better than spending 1k.
might as well bin the rear seats now jimbo

Safety boost on EBC
now this is the thing, its a HDI SBC-D boost controller imported from australia. I went for this one as i have used them several times before and there easy of use and stable boost is brilliant. Normally they stay at the boost you set without any play whatsoever. Note the HDI SBC-D doesn't use greedy style settings, its a fire and forget type controller, one turny knob to higher lower boost. (two settings Low and Hi) Its also hard wired to a HDI SBG-D boost gauge so the boost reading is bob on

Safety boost on EBC
very very fast, but if i came off boost and had another go it would hit 12ish again.

Safety boost on EBC
The solenoid works because with the pipes the otherway around i can control boost (to an extent) and it clicks when given power. The only other idea i can think of is lazy actuators like you say, although its doubtfull to be honest, this engine is like brand new, all the pipes are still soft, none of the connectors have any corrosion and the actuators havent even started browning yet. Hmmm

catback systems?
yes it matters that they mix bud. otherwise you only have 3 cyliners firing into each exhaust

catback systems?
i had a japspeed one on my old z, it didn't sound loud when it was new but after it bedded it was really really basey. And it burbles on idle but not so much when driving. And no, most systems are two systems that dont mix

Safety boost on EBC
yep, just checked everything. Also did some research, the car should pull 7-9psi without any interaction from the boost controller anyway so i doubt its safety boost. also tried changing around the hoses on the solenoid, actuator and wastegate hoses, it then pulled upto 12psi with interaction of the boost controller but it quickly drops to 7-8psi. But ive swapped them back now as it was definately setup right the first time.
