   no
   
   the chassis side plug is different on the gti, youll need either a single plug vts loom, or get the gti one re plugged

   You cant use a single plug 106 gti loom the chassis plug is different
   
   You CAN use a single plug vts loom.
   
   The ECU makes no difference VTS or GTI will work

    Yea you can have the plug end from your car spliced onto the GTI loom end so it will plug in and work fine
