You will have to use the ecu in the sport as it will either not run properly or not at all. Honestly it will be cheaper and easier to buy a cheap sport and transfer your alloys or other mods onto it

The only reason to do it is to get cheap insurance on a more powerful car and/or pay lower tax. If these werent the reasons then you would just go and buy a sport/gsi?

Fair enuf I agree with that but I'm using this as practice my sxi isn't on the road I just wanted to attempt to create a track car I know it would be allot easier to buy a sport but that kind of evades the point of what I wanted to do so having explained my self to you can you Answer my original question or not?
