The other hurdle will be if you lean it out what will the stock computer do? It might go into limp mode if you don't have a way to over ride it? So you might look into HP Tuners or one like it.
I appreciate all of your advice thus far. In your opinion with the current set up (a non-performance small turbo that is designed more for fuel economy and to make a gutless 1.4 feel like a V6), should I really have to worry about burning a hole in a piston or creating a hot spot even if the the fuel mixture were to lean out for a little bit? Or is that only seen on high performance vehicles?
