   swap EVERYTHING over, literally strip the inside of the VTS bay, strip the bay of the VTR and put all the VTS intheir, ECU and Loom and the enegine imobiliser ... should be fine.

   You could send the vts ecu away to get unlocked which would mean you wouldnt need to swap the imobiliser over! That would be the way id do it!

   its not too much agro, pretty sure you can unlock the vts ecu your self something link start the vts and unplug the immobiliser turn it off, not 100% but its something like that, someone else will tell you for sure in a sec

   Any way of doing it without the whole car or engine running with the locked ECU though?
