You are correct, there is more than one map. What I meant by "static" is that the maps don't change. They are pre-programmed at the factory and stored in permanent memory.

I mean then the DME would get the correct airflow into itīs calculations, the difference should be that the new intake system would allow for a better airflow, giving more air. Then I take it that the STFT+LTFT would compensate so it would all be working.

This makes sense. The question is whether stock DME has enough range in STFT/LTFT to accommodate the additional air from the 987 intake? For example, if the 987 intake flows 20% more air, the STFT/LTFT will have to be able to adjust the trims by +20%. That seems like a lot for a system that is meant for fine tuning engine operation. However, if its only +2%, that might be possible. I don't know the answers to those questions. I'd suggest searching to see if you can find someone who made that mod and ask them.

I'd have to look at the book that I referenced to remember how the ECU handles the switchover from closed to open loop for WOT. My gut says that it takes the closed loop trims and then fattens up the mix even more (that is how I'd write the algorithm!). I'll take a look today, with the virus I'm just hanging around the house and this is way more interesting than cleaning my workshop.
