There's a few 228, maybe more 328 but the majority are M235 and F15 35i / 35d .

I can help you with any questions since we have the same N20 engine

I am actually going with this option its almost here, its easy to take out/install and is definitely safe its not pushed to the point where anything seriously changes just a ECU trick.

It might not have as much functionability as others, but power gains are good and thing is the other systems are more complicated to install/take out if you're concerned about warranty when servicing etc.

You will not be disappointed, I used the RC Ultimate on my N20 for close to a year and tried many higher settings, dyno'ed it and even was able to go to the drag strip twice. Currently i'm on ecu flash, catless custom downpipe all by EnzoPerformance since he's local to me.
