  1. Sprint boosters normally just plug in between the gas pedal and the connector, some versions have an extra wired switch that you can mount to a remote location ie near the steering column.

     

    I would think most "enthusiasts" can definately handle the install.

     

    most people seem to like it / if the vehicle is shared with ie. your wife the switched version allows you to turn it on/off.

     

    cheers

  2. over the years i have replaced plenty of faulty OEM DV valves on both tuned and stock turbo models. usually cause a air injection fault.

    the billet ones are usually pretty solid but can wear out or require some lube occasionally. i would reccomend these on a tuned car...

    my .02 cents

  3. if your battery is disconnected on a twin turbo or a c4s with out a certain amount of fuel in the tank you need it re calibrated....

    it is a quick thing but you need a scanner such as piwis to be able to do this.

    once the fuel goes below a certain amount because of the saddle tank design the fuel gauge works on fictional readings. the tank be full but the gauge will only display about a 1/4 tank full..

    Also by the top of the filler neck there is a little cylindrical magnet type sensor with a wire. it is up in behind the wheel liner, if this is disconnected or incorrectly installed this will cause filling issues

  4. i might suspect a maf...

    they often fail without triggering a cel... i noticed you may have consider replacing o2's.. they are at the end of thechain as monitors and alering fuel trim.. mixture problems are often triggered further upstream ie. maf...intake leaks...

    if, you have taken care of vacuum leaks tb cleaning etc...

    you can see my recent post about a 996tt... http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/38776-high-idle/

    best of luck

  5. 2001 996TT

    Complaint: CEL on...

    Code stored p0507 - noticed occasional high idle and the odd sputter on W.O.T. accell...

    Diagnostic work flow....

    piwis - fail... hardly any actual values shown on this model - durametric beat it with values hands down..

    Check for vacuum leaks with smoke machine.... none, clean and re-adapt tbody (KOEO 60s)

    Problem still persists. The throttle valves hardly fail and we all know the bosch MAF's are sh!t so I put one in.

    the kg's per sec went up from 14-15 to 17-19 and the actual throttle opening percent went from 2.7 down to 1.7

    All at operating temp at idle.

    btw the car also reaches 200km in half the distance with a new maf :P

    Hopefully this might help someone. Cheers
