[urq] Cold start fuel enrichment in Boost

[Ado Sigal]

I am afraid so. In Switzerland, each non OEM part installed has to come 
with certificate, and needs to be registered in your cars papers. 
Certification for EFI would cost more than the car is worth. Even the 
brake pedal rubber has to be there. No fancy (and better/safer) pedals 
here mate. Switzerland is probably the most restrictive country 
regarding not just a car. Heavy duty emission control regs also, the 
very reason that I stay with pre cat 86 Urq. Unfortunately these models 
have basic CIS, where enrichment is controlled via warm up regulator, 
and K-star introduces electronic control of w/reg valve, but Lambda 
needs to be introduced into the system, which is hopefully hidden 
enough, not to be noticed by an inspection tech. Pressure relief and 
check valve that I am just about to install, is going to be dismantled 
before every inspection, or it wouldn't pass the test. Like that.

Regards,

Ado
