Default ECU Swap

I have been looking at getting my 2018 tuned with the EcuTek RaceROM package. The tuner told me that the 2018 ECU actually has less memory than older model year Z's and that the 2018 ECU cannot have the full EcuTek RaceRom package installed. He has contacted EcuTek to see about having them reduce the file size of the tune and even removing parts of the RaceROM package that aren't relevant to me. EcuTek is understandably not exactly chomping at the bit to modify their tuning file for just one guy. The tuner suggested I do an ECU swap from an older car and have the computer rekeyed at the dealer if I want to get the tune ASAP.

I just wanted to make sure that I will not have any problems with the function of my car if I put the older ECU in. I have a manual Sport Tech so I am particularly concerned about the S-mode and the navigation package.

Has anyone done this before?
