Mate, you don't need to remove the dump pipe as far as I know, just the heat shield to give access to drill the hole for the clamp kit.
The shield IS a pain I know, about 7 or 8 bolts to get to and undo, it's awkward and causes swearing n stuff, but is doable.
Just take ya time, plenty of CRC on everything, crack the bolts while the pipe is still hot.
Don't lean on the top radiator tank or you will be up fer another $400 (tip)

hmmmmm i might have a crack at it tomorrow afternoon the heat shield then.
dont i have to drill the hole before removing the heat shield, so i know where i need to cut?
Once you work out the secret to getting it out (it only comes out one way) you can mark it and then cut the hole and mark the dump pipe.
do i have to dosconnect anything to get it out? hoses? cables?
the thing is i dont want to pull stuff apart, then have the problem of how to put it back lol
Mostly just hoses and stuff, don't undo any aircon pipes tho, take a few pics so you can put it all back the same.
Make ya self a bit of room by pulling stuff off and then it will be easier.
hahaha i know your trying to help mate, but i think thats the icing on the cake.
the more i have to do the more im getting worries lol
im thinking i might just go with the new dump pipe and get the bloke at kewdale exhaust to fit it :)
I think for peace of mind its for the best!
i will install my boost gauge on the weekend but.
i got my gauges today. the gauge thats in there now is an electric vaucum/boost gauge.
this is where the pipe connects to at the moment.

from there it goes to a little black box and its wires from there.
im guessing i can just hook up my new connection and hose up to the same spot once ive removed the old one?
run it to the gauge and wire it up?
so will that connection just after the intercooler be an ok spot to connect my new boost gauge up?
Yep, that's fine.
Cheers, the ferret.
ok sweet, thanks bud.
the wires on that are on my old boost gauge, there quite thin. Could i run a second wire of those to the pyro gauge for the lights, ignition and earth?
that way i dont need to run any electric wires. just need to add a secone wire the the 3.
Mate, As I am a qualified Fitter/Turner/Tool maker, and not an Auto electrician, I feel that I could comment on your wiring situation,but you would be better off to ask a sparky.
"YENDOR" would be best suited to answer your question.
