   If the ECU is unlocked then yes you need the immobilisor box unplugged or it will lock up again.
   
   A VTS ECU will fit, as its only managing the same engine as a VTS.
   
   The looms connection to the interior loom can be different between GTI and VTS though.

   The GTI and VTS engine is the same, they will have the same looms as they have the same sensors on the ECU side. The only difference will be the interior loom connection. Sometimes they have 2 plugs sometimes they just have a different plug.
