New 4" snorkel from Millweld, I was a bit zealous trying to remove the flare and then had a problem trying to get the indicator park light in and snapped a plastic clip

Also replaced the rope and mast in the aerial

Probe for the Thermoguard EGT Gauge just needs to be wired up to electricity and mount the gauge

EGT gauge is finally wired up properly now thanks to ET for his idea on how to wire it, as well the others that offered advise.

The probe wiring has been fed through a grommet on the passenger side of the firewall and then fed through split tubing up and through the dash and brought out above the steering wheel in a gap, the case is fixed using double sided tape to the top of the steering wheel.

Very nice indeed I absolutely love full size utes, yours is no exception.
As I have trouble with my left leg they were out of the question.
Who knows one day I may have an auto one in the carport.
Did you do before after figures for your EGTs etc.
What differences have you noticed??
Again very nice, they say red ones go faster too.

Hey mate EGT gauge was fitted same time as the intercooler but initially was using the factory scoop, shes much smoother now with the new scoop, haven't taken her for a long enough drive yet to be able to see how much of a difference its made. Debating whether to get it tuned or just wait till I get the UFI 18G turbo fitted and 4" Airbox.

[threedogs]

If its lot to far away Id leave it and dyno it when all the mods are finished

[gubigfish]

Yep that is the plan hopefully get the airbox soon and then save up for the turbo

[gubigfish]

Finally fixed the snorkel tonight I would love to know why Millweld didn't supply the 4" RAM Head with the snorkel. Its made a massive difference actually put your foot into her and she responds
