  1. Oh man ! Condolences to his family, absolutely heartbreaking news.
  2. She’s going to be one beautiful ute once completed Phil
  3. No it’s legitimate, I’ll do a write up when the forum isn’t chit
  4. Confirmation it’s in the right spot
  5. Because they’re good…. Nothing cheap is good… nothing good is cheap End thread
  6. Neg, Forbyz are good but push to 2018 models and heavily depends on what you want to do with it. regular towing and eating up kms - Prado Getting dirty and abused - DMAX Everest & GC can EAD !
  7. Neg looked silly on a 4 stack of different OD’s , been there done that old chap, plus SS ties with drawback tabs are fine with SS braid WTF ya banging on about re: Primer ?
  8. Then pop a sexy little hat on it
  9. Ummm dunno lol, can’t be sure right now but you’ll more than likely have one that will fit as it wasn’t that special
  10. Well they don’t come leaky lol but yeh it’s a FG thing
  11. Ha yeh the sensors do leak mate, found out that way back in 2010 on my FG F6 310 wind her out, buzz in a new one for $40 or bang a bolt in it instead as they only send the ECU a signal to bump idle speed by 50rpm when activated so basically not a thing that’s important so ditch it
  12. They know, they've known for a while now as I wasn’t the one who’s worked this out… as I said the guys who tested and R&D’d the changeover set up worked it out and recommended it be pulled but any positive can have a negative attached to it and the gain of new opportunity might be worth the “Potential” negative. Dunno, Don’t care really just know how to navigate a better way of tuning past a factory TMAP than bluffing it
  13. That’s my point Nathan…. Smashing/dancing/feathering the throttle exposes it to this area of danger and with testing pre/post TB it became obvious there was big issues being covered up and causing damage along the way. You’ll never know it’s there unless you go looking for it with test data and with that came proof it’s not the best option. Cat007 - last part of my post champ… it’s the same reading resolution TMAP as factory down low. It drives 100% stock and I’ve used it on a few customer builds now with brilliant results hence moving on with technology and better ways to deliver tunes. That said the bosch blue 3 Bar is a beautiful little TMAP that works really well too
  14. It’s actually pretty obvious when you consider it in the non WOT application… Why is the TMAP located where it is ? What isn’t the BPS seeing and what separates the two sensors ? Then think about fast transient throttle applications like doing a burnout… What’s that TMAP blind from if you’ve worked past it’s range ? The potential for incorrect fuel supply is there in a big way especially with excess boost pressure behind the TB blade then big gulps of unmetered Air to inrush. I’m using (as are most workshops) the new Omni power 5 Bar TMAP sensors with flawless low end resolution (28kpa as the factory sensor is) and 58psi boost control set & forget
  15. That’s not the reason at all workshops don’t do or recommend this method. It came, it worked, it has major flaws we moved on So much so the two major workshops who helped implement it had tried to get it removed from the software update. OP just do what your tuner recommends you do buddy
  16. Don’t do that…Long story short it’s not recommended anymore Get your tuner to supply & fit a TMAP sensor to suit your application and one he can tune with
  17. Yup that’s pooched bro Start from scratch
  18. That sucks mate But…. Blokes who don’t deck the block and have the head finished as a bare minimum should always except a failure and if it doesn’t you’re lucky… it’s not the other way around ! Yes been there done that and know it’s worth the effort every time now but can appreciate rolling the dice, actually have a set up near on 600rwkw living on a non prepped surfaces and to negate this less than favourable condition I go a cut ring gasket (Athena) and 110ftlb on the studs (ARP) and 120ftlb (Atomic) M12’s but again it’s “Rolling the Dice” …. Risk VS reward something something….
  19. Congratulations on the new ride @.Stripes. Always exciting getting a new bus, what’s the specs on one of those these days ? what colour ?
  20. Agreed… cost being the factor definitely go factory or a flat out spring and or T for $90
