I can say for sure, this is not a p8, as you have co adjustment, and lugs on the house

One of the functions of the Pectel board is to provide a protection against unwanted copying or even reading this chip. Without a sticker or a description on the outside of the ecu, I am afraid nobody knows what chip this is.

Almost Correct. It is the ONLY function.

Also, the L6 is not normally used with this board anyway so maybe just best to sell the board on eBay and buy a L6 for use directly in the motherboard.
