nb : NOT a DIY more a "how I did it"

took me two hours

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v427/JoKerNZ/2012/Walbro%20install/

so at 40km shy of 230,000 pump dies on an intersection going to work :/

Step 1 : Identify fault = Pump no go, was getting power, no sound!

Step 2 : Email Brendon @ GFB (see sponsors section) recieve 500 HP pump overnight with fitting kit

Step 3 : Locate pump, under boot floor between rear struts, remove hatch and screws,carefully pull assembly out (after lableing lines)

Symptoms of pump dying were slow to start/fire then the obvious failure

kinda feedback i was looking for : soldering iron was not at my workshop... running risk of fail/used vicegrips for solid connection

was recommended in the "install guide" / documentation

fair enough, soldering and heat shrink is always best.. but your a big boy now :D

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
