Being able to run ITB's on OEM management would be super tasty modification.

FWIW I've gone out of my way to retain Digi 3.2 on my car as it'll be vastly better than K-jet. K-jet was an ingenious solution to a problem at that time but imo it has been surpassed and it's fairly well documented that it'll lean out at the top end with the ABF and potentially kill then engine.

I do hate though that the MAP sensor is integral to to the ECU, that is a pita if it fails.

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Complete ABF swap would be my choice. :smiley:

 :huh:

The crank sensor's integral to running the engine as well.... the management needs these things to get the best results out of the ABF and it's why it can be effectively tweaked up on OEM management.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

What I meant was that MAP sensor breaks it's potentially new ECU time, this is what happened to mine. Crank sensor, whilst an expensive sensor, is relatively easy to swap.

Ahhhh - because it's on the ECU - gotcha.
