webartie said:no the key immobiliser
on the european and possibly usdm cars the key has an in built code and around the ignition barrel there is a sensor, unless the key ha the rite code the car will not start, and in some way tells the euc this, if i wana swap the ecu for say spoon ek9 one (ek9's do not come with an immobiliser) the wire is not there and the ecu will not be able to start..... hence problem
The immobiliser should not be a problem once you use a ecu with no immobiliser
