Re: do i have Euro FI for 8v??

["Andy Holmes" <scalainj@hotmail.com>]

Dont know whats good about it but it sounds like the K-jet/Cis on my 91 
Scala which being a UK model qualifys as European. No electronic gubbins to 
be found near my injection other than a TCH unit and an add on K-star but i 
put that on so it doesn't count.

But it does give 115hp and 123lb/ft (dyno tested) on a nigh on stock 8v 
(bigger throttle body/ported inlet manifold/custom induction) so maybe it 
aint so bad
