Default A2 motor with z1 ecu?

Bought a 06 rsx just to find out it has a k20a2 in it. The dealership swapped for a 04 cluster also so that it would work correctly but I know it isn't possible for them to put a 04 ecu in it and I know they didn't kpro it. My question is how much power am I losing and is it even safe to run that ecu with that motor. Also could this cause my ac compressor to not cut on? I know wires are different on each ecu plug

I'm guessing my only option is to get kpro and run a a2 basemap right?

I hate stealerships, I'm stupid for not looking i guess.

Wow the dealership went through the hassle of rewiring the cluster even?

The Z1 engine has better cams and bigger valvetrain. It's almost a Type-R replica. The dealership went through a lot of troubles to go backwards with that engine verse just replacing the engine with the Z1
