Bear in mind different engines have a different safe place to be AFR wise, for example Stu has said that if he applied the same numbers to a Focus RS on it standard manifold then it would be meltdown time.
So it doesnt follow that Lee's R21 will be correct at the same point as a cossie.

That said, I would certainly use those sort of numbers as a starting point as the focus is the unusual car in that comparison not the YB, most turbo cars work well in the mid 11s on full boost, but you really need to be looking at EGT too to make sure.

Lee, if in doubt, aim lower.

So go for low 11s on boost, might lose you a few bhp, but will be safer.

You should be looking at 12.3 - 11.8 on full throttle at that rpm.

For anyone interested in a Dynojet Wide Band Commander see:

http://www.lightningforceperformance.com/

Mark from there was very helpful, my kit cost $196 (approx £205 at the time), in comparison to the £408 UK retail price.

pics of kit and gauge fitted, electronic/logging box cable tied to where the radio amp used to be, nice and easy for connecting PC.



notice, no expense spared with the kitchen laninate floor gauge mounting plate
