I have booked in my Taipan exhaust and diesel chip upgrade in two weeks time
It should be a vast improvement from standard and I can't wait.
Will be going camping queens birthday weekend and would like to see what it does on the Hume hill climbs and the fuel economy. Hopefully gearing down less and keeping the power on

What's your definition of really hard, and for what reasons do you use the gauges, apart from the obvious what do they tell you.

boost and egt. If your egts get to high you can basically melt your motor (put holes in pistons etc) so if you have a egt gauge you can monitor it and if anything goes wrong drive it accordingly. Some of these chips these days are incorporating egt controls into them so its not to much of an issue then.
And hard like towing or just giving it a good ole thrashing. EGT's are harder to keep under control in the older style motors with no intercoolers i havent heard of anyone having any issues with the new crds
