you're looking into it a bit of a different way than i normally do, but i can tell you one thing, 13:1 most certainly IS a lot. From running a number of cars with around 12.5:1 to 13:1 on the dyno, the heat produced will be huge, and the ignition timing will have a very narrow safe window either...
LOL!!! 0degrees air temp would actually make the computer reduce the reading, but it just shows how little attention to detail they're paying. 5th would have the same effect. Sounds like a right botch job

you may also need a bracket for your coil, although Laine is selling everything so ask him about that. Also you'll ideally need a new 3 wire lambda sensor (use one from a mk1 clio 16v)
