Maybe the advance curve has to be changed a bit?

Am I missing something?
Thats tricky to do since there is no option for a Hall sensor, needed for knock sensor functionality. The magnetic trigger would not be used and the advance mechanism reconfigured strictly for rotor phasing.

All the ignition timing functions would be retained by the Motronic ECU, but its ability to advance/retard specific cylinders on demand would be compromised.
