    I’m picking up my Redarc gauges tomorrow, so can now finally book in the car to get the exhaust fitted. (Waited so the exhaust fitting place can put the pyro sensor in at the same time).
    First impression is notably more power and the boost comes up quickly, much nicer to drive.

    Installation cost was higher than i thought it would be at over $400, they had to replace the studs on the turbo.
    I rang a few places and they all charged the same hourly rate and would not give a fixed price.

    If you have gauges fitted have you noticed lower EGT's or faster spool up

    Have not wired up the Pyro yet, will do it this weekend but never had it on old exhaust so can't compare.
    Definitely noticed the faster spool up.

    I just booked in for Saturday morning to get mine fitted. On the phone they reckoned $240 “plus a bit extra if the turbo studs are a problem". I started to tell him how Genie say to re-use the turbo to dump pipe gasket & he was already across that which gave me a bit of confidence in them. I feel a bit like a kid the night before Christmas.

    Did you have the exhaust joint fit the Pyro sensor or are you going to do it yourself?

    finally got the 4.33 diff gears and pinions in and wired the blackvue to permanent power so it recirds all the time when moving or on a movement sensor when parked, the diff gears make it easier to take of and for cornering you dont need to change back down a gear, now i just need to get it down the beach for a workout. Also changed a tie rod end that was giving a slight wobble in the steering.

    I had them fit the Pyro sensor and tie up the cable for me to wire up.

    Yesterday I got my trailer plug socket replaced as I ripped off the lid, the aux battery replaced under warranty, as it failed again.
    I got a rattle in the rear barn door fixed, they found a loose bolt that needed tightening.
    Also have my 90k service getting done today.
