This is no joke. Some fellows from Berlin designed a injection and timing brain which can be adjusted in every way. Connect sensors you have and actors you need and manage the engine with it. You will get a small terminal with some push bottons. Looks like a simple game boy for engine management. Costs about DM 1000.-
