With so much emphasis on the circulating pump. I'm wondering if any of the electrical inclined might recommend a way to wire up a little LED light to the pump wiring? Sort of like when you check for a connection on a wire. I was thinking just running a tiny LED into the cabin so you can see the pump is working. It would only light up when the pump is on. Make sense?

Unless you're using something like a flow switch or a current sensing switch the LED will simply tell you that the pump SHOULD be on. You already know that because the car is running.

I think you'd notice pretty quickly that you were down on power and heat soak was becoming a problem if your pump wasn't flowing.

Pop the fuse out of the power wire leading to the pump. Running the pump without fluid could kill it.

A thought, run the light wire for the boost gauge to the pump fuse, so light on the boost gauge, pump working, light not on, know pump not working..

Any idea which would be the plug to use?

If there isn't a relay between the fuel injector power circuit and the pump then the only thing that will tell you is that the injectors (and pump) are being powered. Well, if the car is running you can probably bet the fuel injectors are being powered. As was mentioned a flow switch or a pressure switch would be the only way to really accomplish the goal here.

I'm advised these are the correct plugs to use with SC
NGK LFR7AIX 2309 NGK Iridium IX spark plugs

Most people actually raise it up, and as far as I am aware there are no affordable colder spark plugs so I would recommend just closing the gap a little bit.

Time for a new tune! Who are you all using and how is the tune you're on?

These NGK Iridium +1 are $26 to $46 for 4 plugs. However chat to your tuners, mine says don't need to change to colder plug.

I'm using @JuniorAWD, and it's amazing. Just look at the dyno charts I've posted and you'll see why I love it.
