[s-cars] A4 turbo mod questions

[Mark Rosenkrantz]

Hey Peter!

How's the family?  Fuel economy is not directly related to injector size as
the computer will only allow enough fuel to match the air.  With higher
boost and higher load, you need more fuel... and that's where the negative
economy will come from.  So if he can limit RPMs and/or boost in the
software, that will help tremendously.

Big injectors don't make power (volume of air does), but without enough
fueling, you can destroy an engine (quickly).

We'll see.  I have 2 schools of thought on what Tyler's first car will be in
high school.  It really depends on how he progresses in driving and his
behavior as I plan on having him in Microds around age 5 or 6.  Who knows?
Either a junker or maybe my Z06 will be his first car.  ;-)
