Surely the way you have done it now makes it impossible for a mapper to optimise?
Chip, it was designed to be a self retro fit device, nothing more, nothing less.
The new wasted/sequential one I have seen can be fully configured via a USB connection.
The charge ratio is not a simple 0.5 linear curve !

Surely with P8 its easier to just get wasted spark activated when you get new chip? i just see that soldering in an extra circuit board is adding another potential failure point whereas if software goes mad you just get it replaced with no physical impact on the ecu.
You are indeed correct provided the mapper is able to change the software.
This used to be a pectel board only upgrade but decent tuners are able to do the mod to their own chips too (MSD for one limited example) but this was only availabe after the WS board was available IIRC.
Also, the board is universal so works on ALL weber ecu's. It just so happens you can put it on a P8 too.
