The TurboLamik TCU is a standalone controller for the ZF 8HP automatic gearbox. It lets you run an 8HP behind any engine, with driving modes from full auto to race sequential, manual paddle/button shifting, and clutch control for launch and drift.

This is a community guide. The official reference lives at manual.turbolamik.eu. Where this guide adds value is organising the scattered pieces and adding real-world notes from the community.

Before you wire anything

1. Confirm your gearbox is supported and identify its variant.
2. Confirm your ECU can talk to the unit (CAN) or that you are using a stock-car connection.
3. Choose your gear selector and any options (paddles, display, foot brake, MAP).
