I used a air sander first. Then used high temp paint. I will be doing my 250 soon. Take it easy when installing they dont get all scratched up.

Looking very nice, I like the blue IC pipes. Gotta know, just how hard is it to get the red dirt stains off your engine components? Visited Kauai last year and I'm pretty sure the bottom of my feet are still red!! That stuff is hard core.
Sorry for the hijack.

Well, I was only able to get my turbo boost gauge connected. Hopefully it works right.

Still no EGT gauge but I flipped the switch over the TW Daily tune and at a stop light I hit it up to 35mph and didn't have the pedal pegged, I would say I was about 3/4 of the way into it and I was able to get 23psi. What should I expect out of the Wildman Daily tune?
