   There are a few more players... Neuspeed has a low-boost (compared to
   mtm, Wette).

   Even less if you know what to pull...

Ummm...I'd say much more at minimum. The "ROM" is a surface-mount
soldered-on jobbie; such beasties are non-trivial to rework (not
hard with "the right equipment", a Royal PITA with most "hobby"
soldering tools). One of the nice things that Wetterauer does
is conjure up a "plug & socket" model so that once modified, any
subsequent session is pop out the ECU, pop open the box, pop off
the chip, reverse process...but that *first* cycle is *not* for the
inexperienced solder-jockey!

I've been planning on submitting a mini-review of the Wett A4 chip,
but don't have my notes here with me. RealSoonNow...
