Firetruck41 - Well, reprogram it then.
Keep in mind that I'm just throwing out what I learned from my interest in upgrading the turbo in my car.
I have never looked into doing this in my 80 until I saw this thread.
Can't reprogram it. Only options are a stand alone ECU, piggy back, or Unichip, AFAIK. I don't even see Unichip offering anything for the 80 series on their current website though...
