    first off you don't listen to what the guy says and second off you tell him to do something which is highly illegal and could land him in a lot of shit

    haha is the car modified no *coughyescough*

    asking to get it seized tbh
    vtr can be donebut its best to get the vtr loom and ecu (i think yours will fit though)
    but the ecu may need a remap to run it properly

    pretty pointless upgrade for the money tbh mate, and you cant uprate TU engines power on the cheap, only option for real gains would be cams but thats big money
