3UZ to Amarok ZF8HP 8 speed auto transmission

[RSA265]

Good day people. I am new on the forum and wanted to ask if anyone ever did this swap combination,what issues can one encounter?

1. Fix 3uz immobilizer and trouble codes
2. Fix 3uz limp mode when running without stock a/t
3. Make 8hp tcu work ok without stock vw engine
4. Make signal conversion device for a/c, instrument panel, ABS

Thanks,I saw one youtube video in Russian,where a 3uz conversion was done but the guy apparently used the stock transmission

and, most likely, twin ecu setup + loads of spagnetti and duct tape

. This would have been my ideal combination. Now,by elimination,I would rather go thru the 2nd option of the stock transmission with all its peculiar challenges...but Amarok and 3uz it IS.
