Boots I'm in s/e Melbourne and am prepared to travel, I'll undo all the bolts and anything else you want me to do, would be over the moon if you could show me how it's done. I got ABS aswell but that didn't seem to be in the way really. On a happier note I fitted up my boost gauge today so I have finally had a win. Yeah. Lol. Only took about an hour. Hardest bit was getting through the fire wall.

Where abouts in the s/e would be easier at yours and engine cold

Yeah boots I'm happy to meet any where you want I'm in between Frankston, dandenong and cranbourne, to give you an idea of where I am without putting my address up on the post. I got a quote to fit the egt of $400-$500 today and they wanted to tap a hole straight into the dump pipe to fit the probe. I said I didn't think the wall thickness of the dump pipe was thick enough, but they assured me it was, is this correct? Because if it is I'll drill n tap it myself. What is the wall thickness of the dump pipe? As the thread of the vdo probe isn't that fine.

I don't know the exact thickness of the dump pipe but I tapped mine and screwed the probe "nut" (is it called a "plumb"??) straight in.
It is pretty thin and I was a bit skeptical when I did it but figured I'd just pull it back out and get a nut welded on if I had too. It has been fine for over 18 months now.
Mine has rear air-co too. Keep going the shroud will come off without taking anything else apart.

That's ok boots, cheers anyway mate. My work has just asked me to go to Poland next Saturday, for 2 weeks. So I won't be doing much to the troll in the next 3 weeks. Thanks to every one for your help so far.

You can drill and tap the pipe but do the job properly and weld a bung in there. just incase the fitting thats tapped in decided to come lose you don't wanna be going through the dump removal process again. Do it once, and do it proper...
I agree mudski, I think the best way to go is to get a bigger after market dump pipe, weld the threaded boss in before you start. I'm not sure what size to go to, maybe 3"? Or the cost of getting one.
