You need to get it "reconfigured" by Microtech to suit the 20V.

To be honest, Microtech charge a pretty penny for that service (like $400-500), and on top of that they configure it for shitty TPS measurement and lower rpm instead of MAP sensor measurement.
I'd personally spend a few more dollary-doos and get an Adaptronic, and fit a vacuum collector/vacuum block for the MAP sensor signal so that it works on 100% map sensing (TPS is shit).

Something like this will fix the vacuum signal to the ECU. Basically you connect a line from the vacuum port at each throttle body, and they collect in this chamber much like a plenum, smoothing out the "pulses" in vacuum signal that make tuning ITBs on map signal difficult.

Flog the microleb on ebay

Hit up sales@kaizengarage.com and anthony can supply a full plug / play loom. Mention you are from ae86dc...

You'll still need a tune done, but i'm sure base maps for a 20v are floating about which will get you to / from the tuner of your choice.

Microtechefi.com has all the info to wire up the microtech to a 4age if you decide to stick with it.

But as said, to send it back to microtech and have it done for a 4age would cost more than its worth to buy another one...look around for a more suitable ecu Id suggest.

the adaptronic completely replaces your stock ECU.

no.

Unless they take it out and send it to microtech for you.

Yep - it has to go back to Microtech for "re-flashing" or "re-configuring", which costs around $400-500.
Like I said, spend a few more dollars and buy a better ecu.
