Can you please elaborate ? If my assumption is right you are saying that after a point the injectors are not able to inject more fuel to compensate for the increased air that is now entering the engine. Can we not fit in injectors of the 90 BHP version of this engine used in the Linea which have the capability to supply more fuel due to the fact that they fire more no. of times per main injection.
