    AFRS around stoich (14.7) or Lambda 1 are common in stock/mild turbo cars - they will run richer if component protection is required. Mapping will include running more boost and this is a useful article on fuelling - fundamental stuff. Not sure how experienced you are with this so forgive me if it's patronising.

    Good job mate. This article is the answer to my question.
    I specialize in LPG installation so there was no problem with understanding this article, very useful.
    Most of the cars i met run with lambda a lot less than 0.9 (0.8 or even 0.7) so what i've experianced with 2.4T (LPT) whas not what i was expecting.
    When i tune LPG conversion i always do it to the same lambda or AFR as on the petrol.
    When i unpluged MAF, AFR droped down to even 10.8 so it was the reason of component protection.
    You've done a really god job mate, many thanks.

    Hi everyone.
    Some new boost been achieved on my 2.4T and from standard 1.31bar reached max 1.72bar.
    Running full boost and max 6200rpm on lpg without noticeable power difference.

    Very satisfied from car performance and HLM service.

    That"s with standard air induction.
    Maybe could achieve slightly better result with custom cold air induction?
    What do u reckon?

    i recon an exhaust and racecat would be better mate but the cone filters do sound nice though even though a panel performance filter will do fine mate

    a low pressure turbo does not boost at 1.31 bar mate thats 19 psi the clue is in the name low pressure a t5 standard is only 0.8 bar which is a high pressure turbo, 1.72 bar = 25 psi

    The max MAP value on NA engines is 1bar so on turbo engines max MAP is >1bar
    following that im not wrong.
    I agree that extra boost i got before was 0.31bar and after 0.72.
