Megatronics v2.0 with dual z pololu and dual extruder

Dear people,
at this moment i have a problem and i cant really solve this by myself, i have a Prusa i3 dual bowden printer with a megatronics v2.0 board and marlin installed.
But bececouse the megatronics v2.0 has 6 stepper slots (3 extra for extruders) i would like to use one for a second/parralel placed stepper on the z axle

in Marlin i found this text under Configuration_adf.h;

// A single Z stepper driver is usually used to drive 2 stepper motors.
// Uncomment this define to utilize a separate stepper driver for each Z axis motor.
// Only a few motherboards support this, like RAMPS, which have dual extruder support (the 2nd, often unused, extruder driver is used
// to control the 2nd Z axis stepper motor). The pins are currently only defined for a RAMPS motherboards.
// On a RAMPS (or other 5 driver) motherboard, using this feature will limit you to using 1 extruder.
//#define Z_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS

#ifdef Z_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS
#undef EXTRUDERS
#define EXTRUDERS 1
#endif

but this would mean that i can only use 1 extruder.. this is not what i want..

-is there a simple text line i can implement somwhere to het 2 extruders working?
- and how can i make this working for megatronics v2.0 sinds this is for the RAMPS..

im really not a code guy so thats why this question..
thanks for reading and hopefully for answering,
