Hello, not sure wether you can help or not?
Im wanting to fit a performance module on my alfa romeo 2 ltr 2001 gtv. I have the mod, and need to locate either my inlet air temp sensor, or a engin coolant temperature sensor. Dempending on what the alfa has. The description on what to do next reads very basic so im going to fit myself although i've no idea as to were this is located. Can you please help?

First: if you can, return the module--it is a waste of money.
I could give you cheap things to do to gain more real useable
power. "Performance Modules" do not do as advertized.

Your coolant temp sensor for the computer is located near the
thermostat housing

Ok thanks i will. you said you can tell me cheap things to do, ok tell me some. Cheers nev

Answer
I am not familiar with that vehicle being in the USA. If it is
a four cylinder, have the distributor retimed to be all in
at 3300rpm.  Or, advance the timing 4 degrees.

Put in a one step lower thermostat.

Keep tire pressure at 34psi and see how the tread pattern wears.

Make sure the air intake is above the bumper.

Try a K&N air filter, they sometimes let more air pass.
