Dutch software is only for the z22se crank. 5 + 2 trigger wheel

Z22YH can be used on the T8 software. 60 - 2 trigger wheel

It's the car that's the issue with ecu.

If u run a z22se crank u can run turbo n dutch software I believe that will be your best option. Or an amazing auto electrical master may be able to cut n splice.

No I don't know any really. Would cost a good bit aswell cos of all the wires to sort.

So like u say standalone ecu would be best option. Nice to meet u mate n swimming was crazy packed.
