As a "get you home" its awesome, but if it happens on boost at a time where you are under 10 degrees advance for det it can be bye bye engine, I'd prefer just to have a misfire or the engine cutout.

For N/A though its kind of cool I suppose as 10 degrees everywhere on most engines will drive relatively well, but I still just prefer the idea of the ecu doing everything and if it fails then I'll just fix it!
thats not entirly true chip, you can never run less than 10 degrees advance (ie 9 or less) on edis, unless you offset the wheel by say 45 degrees (there is an offset in the ecu to do this) but then it will fail safe at 35 degrees after tdc
