I've a 2wd sapphire and was told that if I fit an l8 I've to mod two wire on the tps sensor and I don't want to have to start that crap

As said about the differences, the reason people swap the wires is that the PF01 and the PF09 outputs are reversed (I.E 5V at no throttle with a decreasing value according depending how far the throttle is opened) PF01 is also contains a switch as it is open circuit with no throttle IIRC. L8 expects to see the reverse of the above.
Stu out of interests what are the other differences between the two looms then?

L8 can do all that no problem and works out a similar price once a driver is installed. VERY few people can supply a good P8 calibration that will work WITHOUT the lambda sensor though, so take care when you choose...

The done thing is to swap the wires on the TPS itself, this is for the reason I mention above, HOWEVER Stu says you should fit the loom and PF09 TPS as well, I don't know why this is perhaps he can elaborate?
I know the PF01 TPS contains a switch and is open circuit with no throttle, PF09 does not, so I think this may be why?

Nothing, its a normally open sensor so the ECU wont know its not there. The engine will though when it detonates and blows up. LOL

Correct with regards PF01/09.

Hi, people. one more question:
i have a red label L8 ECU and st.2 closed loop chip for L8 (from Superchips). After chip installing i have 3.1 fault code (oxygen sensor i think). Can i connect an oxygen sensor to red label L8 ECU? Will it work correct?
Stu, is it mean that ALL L8 redtop engines has a khock sensor?

Nope, all L8 has it.

The L8 hardware is the same, but the software isn't so I think it's possible to connect a Lambda also I think all vairients of 4x4 YBG and YBJ had the knock sensor. Should be on the right hand side (Exhaust) on the block at the bottom.
