If you dont believe me ask himself. You can PM me for details!
You tjop! that meants the TUNE have him 13km/l not the VEMS, the VEMS enabled him to tune the car better :P

Also, some ECU's have place for a wideband that allow the ECU to moitor and change fuelling to get the best mixture out.

Sokar, I smark, straight to the point. That is what I was trying to say but didnt want to be harsh, but seems I came arcoss harsh anyway :lol: .

You dont have to TUNE with a VEMS, there are plenty wideband meter out there. Also do you have a standalone to allow you to TUNE the ECU??

Well then the only thing would be to put it on the duno and check the A/F ratios. Then you would have a more clear idea of what it is!

Go to Faheem at Dynotech. He will sort you out. I want to go there asap(meaning next week monday) so he can tune my car.
I also need to go! let me know what he asks for a tune!

Does that involve a dyno run with or without a tune?
