Well, I fueled the car with 98 octane pump gas for the dyno run and got LOWER figures from the dyno. Engine was running heavily rich (AFR 11-11,5:1,), S1-installer said that benefits of S1-system are seen only after AFR of 12,5:1. S1 brought only minor benefits when engine and room were hot. What could cause that overfuelling? Ofcourse S1 shoud be adjused with progammable chip to make it more usefull, but could that gasoline hassle be the cause of ECU?s eratict behaviour?

I have just posted a similar answer on the following thread:

Please read it first and I will try to see if I can help you to tackle your current situation.
First of all. Untill you did a back to back dybo plot on the same day, it wouldn't be a good comparison. Anyway - putting WI on an already rich afr is not going to help power at all. Your combustion temperature may already being overcooler.
It the summer, you may have a positive gain on WI but in winter, we get a few post on this topic.
