"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

just dug out my spare Sierra 1.8CVH one and it's 121mm. It'll protrude about 1.5 to 2mm all round on the standard Capri bottom pulley.

single pole double throw (SPDT) or a double (DPDT) but you only use one pole.

Maplins or ebay...

There are a few options for enabling the 5V reference in the controller... see the autosport labs website for the options.

I chose to build the Vref part of the TPS circuitry on mine, but this is unnecessary as there is a simple 1 component way of doing it... all listed on autosport labs.Image
