I think this subject has been beaten pretty hard in the past, but Mr.
Bereil will confirm that most Bosch Digifant ECU's have serious
cracks in the circuit boards and he was kind enough to tackle the
task of re-soldering like 75 or more joints to improve its
reliability.  I would think that these flows cold certainly cause
intermittent problems before they totally fail I'm comfortable with
IT as a spare, should I ever convert back to Digifant FI.

Pull that cover off and grab a magnifying glass and you won't be
quite so comfy with what's fueling and sparking your 2.1 WBX.

There was a list member in Il that used to redo these boxes, but
haven't heard from him in a long time.

YMMV
