Ditto.

I disassembled the prom for the '85 200tq I had a few years ago. The
goal was to inhibit the high boost cut-off. I never managed to
identify where that was done. I believe I still have the code lying
around if anyone cares.

I found something that I think was pretty neat. It seems to use the
tacho to signal errors! Different RPM readings meaning different
errors.

It also had two sets of maps. I believe one was for swiss anti
pollution regulation and one for other countries. It could also have
been for auto/manual trans. It was selected with a wire in the ECU
connector being present or not. This could be used for some other
input, like a switch to select a less brutal mode to be used when
someone else is driving the car.
