   Leave the inside of the car alone (apart from unplugging the immobiliser box)

   Yeh, just plug and match if you've got the right loom.
   
   You'll have an immobiliser, so you'll need to unplug the box inside the car so that you can use an unlocked Vts Ecu

   Ja, is a black box the size of a cigarrette packet - it's right up behind the back of the glovebox
   
   what year is your car? Mk2 2000? You'll need a changeover single plug engine/loom

    Your car is a mk2 ? So you'll need a single plug mk2 vts loom/engine/ecu - you need to just make sure that the loom plug connects to your loom plug behind your passenger headlight fine.
