Closed loop means the ECU is able to control fuel delivery accurately in off/low boost conditions, so yes, going around town or driving along the motorway off boost, the ECU will only deliver as much fuel as is necessary hence an increase in MPG.

It won't make any difference on boost irrc.

Looking for 250.00 for the complete kit, including ford board ,lambda control daughter board, lambda sensor and stage 3 chip with lambda mapping.All instructions are included but you will need to contact stu at motorsport developments for a lambda boss to weld in the exhaust.You can ring me on 07762034121.

adam rs have you got any pictures of this stuff. i'm especially interested in the 'lambda control daughter board' as i cannot understand it.

why would you have a daughter board for that when it can be done from the eprom as in a green top L8 ecu or p8?
