My guess is that it will idle, but not well. Put a drip pan under your tailpipe and I bet you could reuse the gas in your lawn mower.

Define "idle".
I could "idle" 550s off my stock 1.6 ECU.

Doesn't mean the car drove worth a ****.

Nester, i think it will idle, but im sure the EMB can't pull enough to make it worthwhile, that a 200% larger injector.

Maybe using the injector corection and the MAF map?

I wish you luck, I have some DSM 450's I want to try myself when it finally stops snowing... (yes, I have the bias resistors)

Boost tuning is easy... just turn up the boost until your air fuels are where you want them. Lather rinse repeat.

I tried that but even at the desired boost midrange controll sucks. 17 psi at WOT was interesting though.
