Thanks for the advise, but let me clarify...
QPR did NOT install a EGT " gauge for me, <come'on I'm not THAT Lame>, instead of risking metal shavings floating around in my turbo, due to a on car tap for the EGT probe, I was advised to have the entire manifold removed so Mike could install and weld in the EGT probes real female insert, as well as do a factory look cut to the heat shield. They also replaced a missing turbo gasket, that was a hidden issue.
QPR Tapped the manifold very professionaly for me, I then "installed the gauge"
However to your point I am not a welder, machinist, nor even a GOOD wrench, I do what I can when I can and only when I feel it's not too far over my head.
Not that my car is the fastest or "blingyist" at all, BUT it still is the nicest "thing" I've ever owned, and being that I paid $11,000 for it, am still making payments, I'm certainly not ashamed of hiring a pro to help me out when I don't understand it vs totaly fucking it up!
That is also why this cars "uptime" has been 99+%, where alot of "tinkerers" and dare I say HACKS have been "down" too often with some serious issues.
It's always been a fine line between stretching out, and "Doing it yourself" to learn, and just digging in and fucking it up to "burn". I maybe a bit gun shy, but I'll also be out on the street tonight, doing what I like best, DRIVING, and not in my garage with my head in my hands crying about my damm car!
<Hope not anyways, as I'm doing a oil change today, guess "something" could go wrong? Oh wait, Now I'm afraid, is QPR open to do oil changes? JUST KIDDING!>
Please Excuse the rant......:->
I will however think seriously about the Greddy kit.....
