Does that mean I could get away with turning the fuel pump up some more?
I would also comment that so far I have removed the cat, blanked off the egr, restricted the wastegate and turned the pump up 1/4 turn, oh and fitted a large cone filter so I was a bit worried about the emisions test.

made my own pipe joined with special joint from exhaust centre.
just been back to test centre and had a chat with the tester, the limit for the 2.8 is 3.0 1/m so could get away with loads more fuel.
Dont think people behind would agree though.
