More good news!
I just got back from another Toymods dyno day. This time my car put down 378rwkw (507rwhp)!
MRC recently replaced the rear rollers on their dyno, and the knurling is sharper than before. This was enough to eliminate most of the wheelspin which had been occurring on many of my previous dyno runs. There were no changes to the tune at all, it was just a reduction in wheelspin which caused the significantly higher power figure. There was ~68% ethanol in the fuel (not the optimal 85%) and the boost level was 30psi as before.

That's nice and just confirms what you said earlier about not showing full power

Not so good. As I was going down the main straight on only my 5th lap of the day, one of the silicon bends (the one straight off the turbo) failed massively with a 10cm long split! It's my own fault, because I was sick of having a big ugly heat shield covering the beautiful exhaust manifold so I trimmed away some of the heat shield. When I trimmed it I only kept the part which protects the ignition coils, because I thought there was nothing else nearby that needed much protecting. For the most part I was correct, BUT I didn't realise how much the heat shield had been protecting that silicon bend, which is about 2 inches from the exhaust manifold.
 
On a different topic:
 
1) Today I ordered a 4-Runner 1 inch bore brake master cylinder, as I should have done long ago to match the big brakes installed front and rear. Currently with the original master cylinder the brake pedal is too spongy and has too much travel, but both of these issues should be solved by the larger master cylinder. Easier heel-toe shifting here I come!
 
2) Tomorrow night I'll be taking my car to the Toymods drag night at WSID!

Lol Rick that's terrible.

Rob can you use heat wrap on the exhaust? Stuff looks pretty cool. -You like that one Rick?

Looks like you've got the solution all wrapped up... at least he wont have to Rob Fort Knox to pay for it....
