RE:  MFA sensors

Bro's 89 GTi had the outside temp sensor located under the battery, I 
think.  Only changed couple degrees when stopped.  Not sure if the oil 
temp readout used the sensor thats located near pass side back of head.

The fuel economy is from vacuum through 1 meter (39.37") of proper sized 
vacuum tubing.  Bro pissed and moaned about mpg when I replaced all the 
vacuum tubing to rule out bad idle, so splurged on some neato Si vacuum tubing 
in blue, NOT the oreiental stuff sold by Summit.  Think it was 6 mm?

RE:  Gauge panel in MKI console.  BTDT>  Have commercial ABS panel sized 
for two VDO 2 1/16" gauges.  Was secured by panhead screws to cubbyhole 
above two existing gauges.  Can measure if your reply directly, Nate.

RE:  Temp readings, Singapore and elsewhere.  I'm sure everybody 
understands your intent, but I'm kinda confused about the degrees 
measured.  Only the oil temp is calibrated, and its in degrees Celsius 
here in US models for OEM.....90 deg F is not hot.  MOF, 50 deg C is ~112 
deg F, which is the end of the caution for cold running on oil gauge.  
I agree that ensuring your fan is OK and shrouding intact are easy things 
to check.

RE:  Using old relay for fuel pump jumper.  I've gotten away with it in 
past, but it would be prudent to add 15-20 amp fuse to any fp jumper.  
Never know and fuses are cheaper than wiring.....
