Changed injection timing compared to last tank.

vw 1.4 TSI engines arent realiable. Its how you desing the engine to make that hp and low friction. If you try to build a petrol engine to same efficiency levels as diesel engine you always have to make some compromises.

I have high hopes bmw 1.5 liter 3-cylinder will be tough, but what comes to power figures there arent no engines yet on the roads as far as I know. So real data comes when independent company does engine dyno tests and same goes for the fuel consumption figures also. Direction however is right with BMW.

Reason: Small 1.0 liter ford ecoboost engines are not realiable (edit:no proven results that is has some weak point)
