   Like Collin said, search and there will be millions of threads
   
   But you will need an unlocked VTS ecu unless you can get the ignition and key from the car you got the engine from. Then the ECU will work.
   
   You can use a VTR box with the VTS engine, i have and its perfectly fine.

   But if the ecu isnt unlocked and you are using the key from the donor car, dont you need the ignition barrel for the key to work?

   no, you dont put the key in the ignition, just take pickup ring off ignition and put new key inside pickup ring.
