welp.... after all that. I am not going to try to install it. I opened things up and looked very carefully at what it would take to unplug the three sensors and swap in the harness....

1] the instructions are all in German. Not a deal-breaker, but I had to do a bunch of Google Translate.

2] the engine compartment in their photos looks totally different than my coupe. I think this was prototyped and developed on a roadster. I'll try to post my gripe video tomorrow.

3] because of #2 above, it is impossible to reach sensor #2 "saugrohrdrucksensor" the manifold pressure sensor, without dropping the motor a bit to get some clearance from the forward firewall. On my coupe there is simply no way to reach it the way they demonstrate in the very limited and not helpful pictures. And there's no YouTube video.

I am going to seek a refund and start considering an ECU tune.
