Is one allowed to post ebay links on here to show others what i intend to buy or ask their advise?

Have a look at the sticky immediately above this thread in this section.

In particular...

Absolutely no links to your Ebay auctions, or Ebay auction numbers, or links to other places where it is advertised.

If you increase the volume of air, you have to also increase the volume of fuel.

If you increase the volume of air, you have to also increase the volume of fuel.

On petrol, indeed, air/petrol ratio of 14.5 iirc, and modern ecus will ensure that.

On petrol, indeed, air/petrol ratio of 14.5 iirc, and modern ecus will ensure that.

14.7:1 - but only at idle & low engine loads, WOT and high load will be richer than that by some amount as 'best power' is (with current engines) somewhere around 12.5-13.5:1.

Generally the engine is going to be 'open loop' at high engine load too, so the O2 sensors are ignored and fuelling based only on engine load and the learned fuel trims (which are learned by the closed-loop low-load O2 feedback controlled operation).

Anyway.. you could theoretically shove more air in during 'open loop' and the ECU would never compensate; course all you'd do is get detonation and engine damage Wink

Probably frustration that these stupid, thieving sellers sell such junk with such (entirely unproven, entirely unachievable) claims. They are retards who pray on people daft enough to believe their lies.

Sorry if the earlier post offended you.
