   Hi everyone, I've been dreading putting this thread up but after searching and finding many different answers I can't decide what to believe. My situation is this, currently I drive a 3 plug VTR, and over the next two months I will be dropping my JP4 engine into the car with iTb's and 708's. Management wise I will be using the Andy's predator, so this means me using a single plug loom. (Now this is where I'm confused)
   
   Do I need a VTS single plug loom then rewire the Multi-plug onto my VTR one(Behind headlight)
   Or can I use a GTI single plug loom and rewire that?
   
   What would be my best option. Once again sorry for this thread as I see hundreds everyday saying virtually the same stuff I just though my case was different.
   
   Thanks, Matt.

   get a single plug loom and a 3 plug loom. cut the multiplug and a length of wiring from each and splice the 2.
   ie, take your 3 plug loom, follow which pin goes to which sensor etc and it will be much easier to ork out which wire is which on the other loom

   label everything and take your time, wiring isnt my thing really it annoys me but once you get your head around it its not overly difficult
