You aren't considering density. Dennis is correct in that you still need TPS and IAT to do the proper calc if you wanted to retrofit and feed a signal into the bosch ECU that it could use. We have data from a bunch of AFMs as to what they flow and what voltage they read at a given flow. They aren't linear, I wish I could provide this data... BUT let me just say this... even if you have that data, it won't do anything for you. I know this is a little cryptic, but it'll make sense if we can ever *@#(*^$!@ release our LMU and some of our development info. I'm pestering Matt (who is our electronics guy) to deliver on the next rev of our boards, but he's been swamped on a project that actually delivers money at his other job, so we lose in terms of priority. If we scrap the project, I'll make everything we learned public domain (which may also happen if Bostig goes non-profit anyhow) Thanks, Jim ________________________________________ Bostig Engineering Engine Systems Voodoo http://www.bostig.com/ 617.272.3800

One liter = 0.0353146667 cubic feet. So a 2.1L engine at 1000 RPM pulls 74.1608 CFM
