   Are the sensors on the 106 gti engine different to those of a vts engine? If i was to plug a vts loom onto the gti engine would this work or are they totally different?

   Yes mate as long as its the same year engine, for the loom etc..
   I bought a Gti engine for my old vts and the loom from mine connected straight in nee problems

   Sorry this may sounds stupid but do i need a loom and engine from the same year or does the engine loom and car have to be the same year?

   just the engine loom has to be the same plug type
   
   ive put a t reg loom on a 51 plate engine in a r reg car on my 106 (single plug loom on a 3 plug engine)
   its a vts motor on a gti loom in a gti

   im not sure if mine will run yet (as its not been tried) but in theory and looking at it i think it will do the trick
   
   usually going to need to change a few sensors and i had to swap the injector looms about
   other than that it wasnt too bad to do
