the bumph with the advert in the link says they are preset for each application, but myself and everyone else i know that has fitted these have allways clock turned the adjuster screw to get the best throttle response.

the info supplied with the FSE says that a clock wise adjustment will be needed for best results, but in a limited no of cars, a anti clock adjustment will produce best results (no vehicle details).

my 2.3 9000 FPT is the only vehicle ive fitted one to that required anti clock (leaning) for best results.

ive found that there is two types of power benifit from these units, depending on the adjustment screw position (not lean or rich) , but say the screw is pointing to 15 minutes past the hour (minute hand), it will give rapid acceleration from standing start, move it to 16 minutes PTH and youve got normal acceleration from standstill but you can feel the extra pick up higher in the rev range.(very sensitive adjustments)

i always go for the low rev option on a turbo ,cos the turbo takes care of things at higher revs.

its a case of fit and play until you find the best setting.

on my phase1 the adapter fitted into the old fuel press reg hole with no probs, but when i swapped it onto my phase 2 ,the bracket interfered with injector #2 and i had to saw a corner of the adapter off to get a snag free fit.

if any1 wants a pick of one in situ or would like to read the info sheet supplied, let me know and ill try to load it up.

they are a swine to work out (fitting instructions are naff).
cheers for that Wayne, i thought about getting it set up on a rolling road just to make sure everything is spot on & getting the full benefit out of it.
