VTS Conversion... 2348234th one?
Ok so I'm getting annoyed and confused about reading all this crossover loom shit, so am hoping to have some light shed on me.
What is the full list of things needed for a VTS conversion, from an early 2000 VTR (single plug ECU)?
Ideally a 2000 VTS would be the engine to go for, but my car being the early single plug, does that mean that a MK1 VTS engine will fit straight in?
Is there a full informative guide or anything on here? As it's incredibly annoying having to scrape bits of information from several threads, putting it together and then having certain bits not match 
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

yes the gti loom i had was slightly different. but my mate was scrapping his mk1 vts so we used it as a donor car. got the ecu, loom and a few other parts. the only other minor problem was on the first run out it blew a hole in the backbox
