Karl,
Im sorry if i missunderstood you, it was 3.30am and i was still at work and very tired. I simply thought it was a dig due to you correcting what i had done as a simple to understand example foir joe bloggs instead of perhaps saying "Just to clarify for those requiring more detail" or some other such method of posting.... anyway.. sorry again for being a mardy fooker...
Alex,
Thats the dead time i mentioned. 0.6ms average.
Katie,
There are very very few management systems in the world that rely on manifold absolute pressure now. It really is older than T-rex himself.
Mass Air Flow is where its at. With this system the ecu has a near as damn it perfect indication of torque output too and can limit or raise torque as it sees fit...
