Is that the only reason for using a smaller pipe? Bang a Dawes valve in and that issue is gone....
Mont. Gauges I think is a personal thing. Just don't buy cheap rubbish. It will bite you in the ass in the end. I run a McNally boost and EGT gauge in one, looks sweet and fits neatly in between the tacho and speedo. It wasn't cheap, at around $300 for the one gauge but it is nice. I'm trying to resist the wog in me and not buy a pillar pod and fill it with gauges. If I do then I'll probably do something stupid and buy a massive tacho and shift light too. Like I said, its a personal choice. I think VDO and Autotron are the flavours around here though. Or the ones that TD has.

Mudski have you got a photo of the gauge u have would like to see how it fits between speedo and tacho
Lets see if MC will play nice...
Sitting in the drivers seat the lower side of the tacho is not blocked by the gauge in the middle. Its just the angle of the pic I took...

Still looking at a few different pillar pods probably going with autometer gauges . I suppose there are some threads in here regarding the install of the boost and pryo ? ill go and look those gauges look good above the column
I run a 3 inch extreme redback on my gu7(2011) and I have had absolutely no increase in boost( i do also have a tunit chip, not sure if that makes a difference). Kept a close eye on it before installing and then after..

I will also say one more thing about changing the exhausts. It is an absolute head f&$@ getting the heat shield off from around the turbo...... Once you suss it you can get it in and out easy but it takes some swearing or patience( which ever comes more naturally) and wear gloves it is razor sharp, sliced my finger without even realising( nothing major just a slice as if from a sharp knife)
