Why do you want to do this? What benefit do you think you'll get? I would doubt you'll get any benefit unless you run an AU V8 engine as well.

Best bet though, if you are really serious, is to post this question in the FTG section. If anyone knows, it will be Darren & co.

I'm curious to hear why you would spend the time and money on this mod.

coil packs would be needed, and you'll have smartshield fun & games, and a torque reduction bug which will hit if you go for short diff gears.

So you don't really need an ECU, you need the BEM, which inturn may force you down the ECU route, if you can't get an AU BEM to talk to an EB ECU.
