could say same about fuel injectors tho surely? and idve thought, providing you got a decent setup, no greater risk?
I'll wager that Mike means you shouldn't really utilise WI as a
normal means to reduce det' when mapping - ideally, WI should be the last resort, a safeguard to combat high charge air temp's (yes that's CAT's not ACT's
).
I.e. WI shouldn't be kicking in whilst driving around normally.....
Another option is higher octane fuel, but again this is a compromise, unless you have easy access to run it all the time (or dual maps)
If you can't reduce det' to an acceptable level, then something is amiss (as you've already said) - do you really want to map a 'compromised' engine??
