His mates 03 could use ECUTEK but his GC8 won't. Will have to go aftermarket for engine management solution.

Ecutek can be done on a gc8
But you'd need to speak with MRT to get this
Cost is same as a standalone ecu though

My99 and 2000 models

I believe mms did one or two locally a while back

Not sure why OP is posting this here when he's based over East and on rexnet
More base for ecutek over there than here
