   iirc there the same mounts i oculd be wrong tho :/
   you just attach yout throttle cable to the boddie on the 'S' inlet
   
   shouldnt need the ECU unlocking because your using it with the engine its mapped with

   you need to use the vts loom and ecu and yes the ecu will need to be unlocked. Mounts all swapover, throttle cable is a bit different iirc.

   Engine mounts are the same.
   
   Youll need the ECU unlocked if your using the VTR' keyset ignitiion barrel etc
   
   You can possibly use your clutch if its the same mk as the vts. Depends on the mountins for the pressure plate between mks on VTR's.
   
   You can use your gearbox but wont be as good as a vts one.
   
   basically youll need:
   
   loom
   unlocked ECU
   manifold
   fuel return plumbed in if you havnt already
   Throttle cable
   Rad and top hose

   Rad and top hose is optional, the vtr one will cope ok. I have used a 1.1 ax one in the past with no issues
