    Common abbreviations:
    CTS = coolant temperature sensor (screwed into thermostat housing).
    ICV = idle control valve (on LHS of the inlet manifold, in bay, on a GT3).
    TPS = throttle position sensor (on RHS of the inlet manifold, by the butterfly).

    just cause tim owns 28 puntos doesn't mean he knows every thing, especially when talking about left and rights.

    Well, I rely on the more experienced to correct my mistakes. I do try to give a complete answer, that's all.

    I've only really been active since Nov. '09, but was a "lurker" from a lot earlier than my official join date. Went to AI at Brooklands this year, my first Club meet.

    To my understanding, various members have had problems with the uprated fuel pump + FSE (uprated FPR) and SEB4.1 setups, due to incorrect/not ideal setting-up of the FPR's pressure limit. This really requires either a repeated adjust + road-test or RR session by a tuner to get this adjusted optimally, but may be considered optional or do-it-yourself, dependant upon the member's confidence and expertise.
