I though I was as clear as I could be on that point  ???

The total flow for a turbo 1.6 at 9 PSI is about 120 to 140
PPH combined total, you never want to push and injector
over 85% duty cycle, it's not safe, and running lean under
boost can lead to big engine problems.

I got the MegaSquirt running quite nicly, I installed 4 additional
injectors from a 1.9 Ford Escort GT for a total of 118 -120 PPH
and I can top these out on the duty cycle, makes the HP but it
really sucks down the fuel doing hill climbes, fun tho  ;D

I bet I'm getting about 18-20 MPG if I behave, and that's on
30x9.5 15 street tires, I'll be swaping out the Diff gears soon
and we'll see how much better we go with better gearing.

I did a 1/4 mile run tonight, ya know the one where somebody
marked the pavement with start and finish, I don't have any
times, and I was running Reg Unleaded 87 RON, I still pulled
78 MPH at the end on the 30" tires, not too shabby for a half
tuned and over geared 1.6 ehh  ;D ;D

If I had some times I could break out the poor mans dyno
and give some HP specs, I'm gonna look that up, might even
get some specs without a time ..........  Hmmmm
