Default P8 pectel board functions

Can anyone help with regards to what Pectel boards and their features are used on a Weber P8 ecu please?

I know there is one for 12 position boost control and coilpack/wasted spark and closed loop lambda control.

Another is the anti lag board then theres a super 8 board.Can someone just confirm which board has what functions please.

Finally if u have a pectel board that has the coilpack/wasted spark feature,how does it then work if you are running a cap and rotor arm?I know the MSD wasted spark is totally different but wil I need some of the parts like coilpack,twin ignition amp,leads etc?

I hope you can help.

Many thanks.Lee.

If you are referring to the "Pectel board" that most completely misunderstand it does nothing other than decrypt Pectels software so it can run, what they did was actually quite clever, but that would be the only need for one!

For the wasted spark part, you need a "Driver board", this is available on all the variants of the Weber family and IIRC requires no software modifications.

I think the super 8 might be the one that allows additional features.

P8 can run WS direct with the correct ECU calibration, no board needed.
