Yesterday cleaned it.
Today used it to carey some things and sussed out the fuel economy since the tune and found highway driving is not bad (was worried the economy was up the creek, but it was due to some city type driving).
And then found out the new exhaust arrived to the local shop, so booked in a date for them to fit it up (im lazy with these things).

I had mislaid the boot badge that came off my VH, no matter where I looked it moved somewhere else. Lo and behold I found a new one. For the life of me I can't remember when I bought it. I was able to get one of the nuts to fit but have no idea how to get the other one on. I gave up on that, it doesn't move so that will have to do.
Now that the car has been painted the engine bay wiring has to be tidied up. I could do the wiring but not the tidy up. I have found a mobile auto sparky who will come around next week and sort it out for me. I won't know myself when it's up and running. I am reluctant to put a time frame on it but hopefully it won't be long.

Scangauge 2 install, well...I plugged it in and used some of the supplied velcro
Wanted to monitor some stuff and to see how my temps are going in my trans
Bugger
The trans doesn't in fact have a trans temp sensor, no trans temp for me thru the OBD2....spoke to Craigs about this and they believe my temps would be fine anyway as the trans has a big pan and a big air to oil cooler, I asked about if cold fluid temps would cause an issue and they said as long as the engine is at temp the trans will be fine.
Meh, the scanner showed no codes though, which was nice
I'm still happy with what it actually can do
Currently it got volts, coolant temp, IAT and boost
I wish I had this when 1. My alternator died, or 2. When my battery died 6 months later..
IAT goes from about 50°c cruising to 80°c during a long hard pull down the local strip at work, hot yes, but hot IAT is a thing with a PD supercharger, you cannot really tell the difference in performance and the ECU black magic deals with it anyway, #notaracecar, soooooo, if my IAT vary from this I may have a coolant flow issue to the W2A intercooler
This tells me that a PD supercharger is great for the street and strip, where a 5 to 10 second hit is all that is needed, but it would be rubbish for the track where you are constantly on the loud pedal, I would assume heat soak would be rampant after 1/2 a lap at your local motorsport park, and possibly the same for towing...maybe.....
Coolant temps are a fairly fixed 93° c once up to temp
And PD boost is boost, unlike a turbo which can overboost, the PD blower either blows, or it doesn't, and of it ain't blowing it's because it's dropped a belt
