Yes it's true, I have a fake FADEC. Also, if the engine was capable of
large fuel consumption, wouldn't that also indicate it would be capable
of high HP output?  My engine just isn't putting out that much HP.  If I
did the calcs right 6.5 gph is 87 HP and 7.5 gph is 100 HP.  If my
engine is capable of 120 HP max, that would be a max burn rate of 9 gph
- consistent with observations.

If it was actually burning double-rate WOT, 15 gph --> 200 HP, that's
not what I'm experiencing!

I think you can trick the stock computer into running a bit
richer if you disconnect the water temp sensor from the computer
and simulate a cold engine by hooking up some sort of
pot circuit that emulates the temp sensor.

It would be interesting to play around with that, maybe someday if I
ever get that turbo engine on the test stand running.
