Hi Griff..
oooo.. this has been done to death with Nick Read n Me
but.. there is no way on gods green earth that forced induction occurs on a ram air scoop or principle..
on an f1 car, with slide throttles and the need for non turbulent air.. at, say... 180 mph.. then maybe.. on a...

Hi Ben
1: a ford ecu
yes - a generic family of ecu fitted to virtually the entire ford range from the mid 80s up to late 90s
2: ability to control an entire engine from fuelling to ignition.
Absolutely, and more
3: can it handle forced indution?
Yes, with mods and a pressure...
