I have looked at several different sources showing that I can remove ALL the solenoids on the firewall. But, I have also seen a couple showing that I need to keep the solenoid on the left. (Facing the engine) The solenoid that has some sort of electrical wire running along the firewall. I havent traced it so I dont know where it goes. Opinions? Experience?

Taboo's diagram pretty much explains it all.

If you are talking about removing the FPR solenoid I did that on my car and had no cold-starting problems; you probably only would with a stock pump. It was amazing how clean and empty my engine bay was with all the emissions systems and solenoids removed, I loved it.

So people are keeping the FPS? Would the "race only" setup be ok for a car that is strictly summer driven?

The FPR solenoid is actually for hot starts... it raises you fuel pressure to prevent gas starvation to the engine. I ran without it for a while and it seemed ok but starting took a little more juice.

Joe, ask to see under my hood the next time you're at QPR... You'll be amazed at how clean it is.

Cool, I'll do that. I am going to use the race only setup since most are running it without issues.
