yes modding svdo is worth the performance given... in fact svdo is a self-learning ecu, newer generation than the much preferred mmc... but many local workshop dont know how to tune svdo ecu based on old skool style... datz why it is deemed useless and hard to tune....
in fact more n more modern cars use such kinda ecu... what makes svdo abit of failure is the programming part... modern age tuning is more towards software tuning...
means it works if rpm is below 3500??...

Piggyback will be able to work in open loop

means piggyback ecu only works with svdo if ecu is in open-loop??..
Yup..closed loop means intake air is metered,fuel is calculated to satisfy ratio,combustion then checked (O2 sensor) to determine the incomplete combustion then fed back to ecu to regulate the fuel ratio again.Closed loop works to produce best economy and tries to obtain a complete combustion.Problem is its hard to keep the feedback loop constantly updating at higher rpms so it reverts to open loop around +-3500 rpm..when in open loop,the O2 sensors feedback is not taken into consideration.In this range it is possible for piggyback to work since it wouldnt revert back to the O2 sensors feedback.
Just my 2cents
This is a closed loop operation:

Lets assume
X(s) is the MAP/MAF sensor
G(s) is the ECU
H(s) is the O2 sensor
Y(s) is the output (or amount of fuel injected into combustion chamber to satisfy AFR)
When in open loop, H(s) is not in effect,so theres no feebback loop (from this diagram,negative feedback) so you can tap the piggyback between X(s) and G(s) and set it to work only during open loop operation
*waiting for sleepwalker to do the corrections
