yes any ecu is fine. im using a 7d uk ecu in my import with a chip. i picked he 7d cos it has a chip holder in it from the factory. saved me the hassle of soldering.

be careful with the legacy ecus as some/all of them are i believe Hitachi instead of jecs so the chip wont be compatible with the Hitachi ecu.
