so the marelli software was never written to perfrom such things as WI, ALS etc?

the only thing i dont understand is that they are all extra subroutines i'd say, the extra coil output on a p8 for example is phically there and is seems strange that the software doent take this into account, i can understand on older (L1,6,8etc) ecus as it wasnt there, but if the marelli software cant access it, it seems a bit odd, i take it there are differnet revisions of software under which different features would be apparent as they appeared on the hardware, i just understand that using the marelli software on a marelli ecu, you cant have access to all the features of the hardware,?

so markk, if u dont midn me asking, how are you running a p8 with coilpack(ie 2 ignition drivers) without the pectel software or secs driver, how easy is this and do you have to sacrafice anything in order to get there..?
