to be on the safe side id get a vtr loom, if some one is selling a vtr engine then you might as well take the loom with it?

ecu- are you asking do you need a vtr ecu over a furio one? or do you need a unlocked ecu over a locked vtr ecu? you will want a vtr ecu to start with, and yes having it unlocked helps so much, all you need to do is remove your own immobilser before you plug the ecu in and it'll work, or if it comes locked off the top of my head you will need the key, pick up ring, immobilser and ecu from the same vtr, if the engine comes with a locked ecu and they have scrapped the car with the rest of the btis you need the engine is pretty much worthless as an unlocked ecu costs more than what a vtr engine is worth

and you can keep the 1.4 box and use your 1.4 drive shafts or the 2 piece vtr shafts, but if you fit the vtr box then you will need the vtr shafts as the 1.4 ones will leak oil
