Now I am back on the forums hoping someone has found a work-around.
In my head this seems like it should be a simple conversion, the block and heads are the same on both N20 and N26 engines, right? There's got to be some way to convert the engine management system of an N26 into an N20, or fool the aftermarket stage-3 upgrades so that we can all buy the same off-the-shelf N20-only parts.
What is it going to take for us to bolt these N20 parts (like DINAN's stage-3, big-turbo, etc.) onto our sad little misfit N26's?
Sorry about all the whining...
Cheers, Mac

Other than the Cat/downpipe being more restrictive on the N26, it's the same damn engine. Relax
The N26 is based on the BMW N20, with the following changes: metal fuel lines (instead of rubber), a valve in the fuel tank venting system to test the fuel system for leaks, an electronic wastegate and larger catalytic converters.[2] ---Courtesy of wikipedia.
