I like the possibilities of tweaking stuff, but i'm also worried about screwing up the motor. I don't really feel like having to rebuild it if I end up messing it up.

That's why I like the idea of just an ecu swap, should be easy and maybe in the UK, or japan they had different parameters for when lean burn happens.

Keep me posted on what you discover greasemonkee. I'm sure several would be interested.
