Well, I don´t know. That is one of my major considerations!
I can´t find any good info on that anywhere……….
Would I be able to save a lot of fuel by running it with at, for argument´s sake; 90%??

Thanks, but I believe the kit I was referring to is with original Rotax parts.
Crucially, the Turbo Computer is Rotax´s………
But yeah, I see your point…………I was hoping somebody had experience with this particular kit.
