Vts to Vtr engine swap

[s555dan]

Hi

I have a complete vts engine loom etc to go into my vtr.

If i have the vts key and the immobiliser, is it possible to do the swap without the need of unlocking the ecu.

Thanks

its that easy to unlock an ecu you might aswel do it, save faffing around with all that

[s555dan]

so it would work then?

[s555dan]

does anyone else know if this will work

i agree its easier to just unlock. then use your own key

[s555dan]

Yes it is probably easier, but i will have to pay £60 to get it unlocked right?

Whereas if i used the vts gear then it should work without unlocking?

just do the remove the black box when running method to unlock it mate.
