Why not just buy a ecu that supports it, it's a seriously backward step from a excellent system, tests have shown a reduction of around 40% on part throttle fuel economy, with NO loss of power, why chuck the advantage away, it works EXTREMELY well.
The emerald K3 amongst other supports all the VVC type set ups from different manufacturers.
