The level 8 has a knock sensor input and a narrow band lambda sensor input plus
has exactly twice the amount of memory as the Level 6 otherwise it is
the same !

The software (CHIPS) between these ECU's are NOT compatiable !

2wd loom also requires the outer two wires on the TPS plug swapping in conjunction with fitting a PF09 4x4 TPS if using the L8. Not all L8's were lambda enabled.

Just to clarify this point Bong,

The lambda function/knock function on a Level 8 is dependant on the software in the chip only.
ALL level 8's had the extra hardware to read the Lambda sensor and knock inputs.
