i said if the wires are positioned correctly at both ends, i didn't say anything about swapping them at both ends.

why use a L8? because they're better (more memory and map sites) and can support both the knock sensor and a lambda sensor if you have the right one and add a few wires to the 2WD loom.

fair point on the chip, but i'd rather run stg 4 on L8 than L6.
