Troy, unfortunately the dyno was booked all this week and still waiting on the manifold too. You got any photo's of that valve cover for me yet? Cheers!

Did a coat of paint stripper last week, and my mate has done another one since, just to make sure all the little bits are off

I will pick it up on my next day off, wednesday

Sorry mate, the Dyno is booked again on the days I could make it this week. Busy place! And the reason I can comment on boost levels is my Prosport gauge died which they have replaced under warranty but it's not wired up yet. I know it may sound like I'm just saying this because of all the trouble of changing IC but it's an animal now. And I'm going to post the dyno figures to back that comment up as soon as possible. If anyone can log boost levels that's in Brisbane please let me know I'll come to you!! The last 3psi increase I saw from changing the correctly rated spring in the DV saw a 13 atwhp increase. And previous testing has shown the Forge FMIC to drop about the same so I will be interesting to see. Will be happy with over 200 whp with the IC change.

Yes pretty tight Matty. You need to cut out a bit of the front bumper bar from the rear in two sections from what I can see, plus the driving side fog lamp grill. It doesn't change the integrity of the front bar and you can't see anything what the bar is back on. he Reinforcement bar stays intact. Jimmy is the best person to comment for sure. There are also a few DIY's on the net. One from South Africa from memory which shows you which parts are cut.
