Default ECU God's, please lend assistance

Someone in the A4 forum was suggesting running 30# injectors on a 1.8T A4 without reprogramming the ECU.

I thought the ECU couldn't adjust for this kind of change.

If it does, how?

Default "What? I'm funny to you? Do you think I'm here to make you laugh?"

(Name the movie for bonus pts)
Mike can the ECU adapt to bigger injectors or no?

Default how much bigger is 30# injectors to stock?

if its not ridiculously big, the ecu will adapt. but if its riduclously big, then of course it probably won't.

but really, whats the point? you are not maxed out on your fuel injectors unless you get bigger turbo.

Default The ECU can adjust very little....

The O2 sensors will adjust the fuel trim, but if it adjusts too much, it will set an error code

Default The ECU cannot adjust in the WOT map...

...because the 02S is out of the loop.

Default True. I'm curious if the fuel trim is used in both WOT and part throttle....

modes.

If the ECU is running consistently rich (or lean) at part throttle, it makes sense that it would also run rich (or lean) at WOT. So it might use the fuel trim for both modes, but only adjust it during part throttle. Of course, it might not....
