Same goes for Manor. Some people have no clue where it is. They know cedar park, georgetown, round rock, hutto and even pflugerville but if you mention Manor, Tx... eyebrows begin to raise

lol I hear ya..but I have 4 toll tags and write it off! so no big deal...

OK so I need to have my pyrometer put into the new exhaust( previous owner never got it done before he sold me the car)..Its 3" stainless so that requires special welding doesnt it?..have the bung welded and screw it in?

Ok so now a question..on all my diesels the big debate was either PRE turbo or POST turbo.
All my trucks have pyros in the manifolds because I want to know what the valve temp is, who cares about the exhaust stream...agree or disagree?
and do you know anyone who can weld the bung on stainless?
TIA
Tom

My roomate has a toll tag to prevent having to stop. Its cheaper but I have no use for the toll ways since I take parmer ln to get to work.

I would install the egt probe at the exhuast manifold(pre turbo). If you need it anything welded give Boostlogics a call at 371-9960 and ask for Kean. Tell him Louie sent you. Boostlogics has one of the fastest Supra in the world, 1/4 times and they usually do a lot of custom fabrication on performance cars.

I think I saw you drive by at the HWY 620 and IH35 Street Meet last weekend. You should stay a little bit longer next time. I really wanted to check out your Z.

Where do you go around Austin to get your mods installed? Looking to add maybe spacers and Nismo exhaust. I'm brand new to the Z community. Still building up my knowledge on what to do with my Z.

Just bought a 2007 Silver Alloy Ethnu 5AT a month ago.

you can do the spacer by yourself as far as the exhaust goes any muffler shop can do the welding you need done.

^^ Nismo exhaust doesn't need welding. Its bolt on. I would just take it to Nissan dealer for the exhaust install if you don't have a lift to use.
