I'll back up Benny Boy's comments below by saying that keeping everything
and running the Digijet ECU for over 12 years now was the best decision to
make.  I have been running the DJ Digijet ECU (025-906-021 F) for over 2
years now with no problems and a little bit better power.

That's why I wrote the article www.oldvolkshome.com/19to21.htm over 10 years
ago.  It works, period.
