JDM P72 knock board removal

I've removed the knock board from my ecu as the engine its running doesn't use a knock sensor, and I dont plan on fitting one either. The reason I took the board out is because I used a zif & dip socket when chipping, so there was no room for the knock board to go back in it's original location.

Now i've been running the car like this for at least 6 months now with no apparent problems, but since I stumbled upon a thread suggesting that jumpers should be removed as well as disabling the sensor in the rom, I wondered if I should really do the same.

So can somebody confirm this information is relevant for my ecu? The info is from another thread to adding a knock board to a JDM P30.

remove R78, R77 (Reverse Side)
add R37 (RS), R50 (RS), R38 - marked 221
add C82 - 4u7 16v tant

I obviously want to swap the add with remove and vice versa for my purpose.

This is a pic of my ecu which has the same components. (JDM P72 003 AS)

Where did you read that you need to remove jumpers on the board when disabling the sensor in the rom ? Usually, resistors/jumpers are used to disable the unit when you cant disable it in the code, so you dont get a Check Engine Code.

This is one of the threads I were reading and although it were suggested not to remove the board, I had to really.
