Frank I'll take it as a compliment you think I am that clever ^_^.

No such luck here. surprisingly and fortunately for me the engine doesn't suck as much air as it does under stoich conditions. I can still read the MAP from the diagnostics onboard and it shows much less air being flowed through the intake than normal. Less power all around means less dedicated power to intake. Otherwise. . .I'm pretty sure I would have detonated the engine 20 seconds after I started it. . .(remotely)
