Is your PPE header a 3" merge or std ?
I have a std PPE header with the bigger runners, not 3" though.

Last Tue i finally went to my car again, sitting in the parking lot of the company who arranges the whole import procedure, to fix the rough idle (didn't had the time in US to do that). Two surprises:
1. Front clam damaged during transport, so bye bye deductible assuming that insurance company will not try to deny the claim.
2. Elise doesn't start, although it did start when they drove the car out of the harbour to the garage. Tried to jumpstart the car by connecting to another (big) battery, didn't work. The battery appears OK, so something else is wrong. Car will now go to a nearby local Lotus garage.

In addition i can't get my new laptop to connect to the EFI using a USB--> RS232 cable, even after reading Phil's instructions how to do it, so that was fun also. Maybe the cable is f-ed up because i tried it with 2 laptops w/o succes. So now i'm hoping to resurrect my old laptop which died, because that old laptop did connect to the EFI w/o problems in the US.
