    Yes you can use the VP loom, BUT its a big hassle, it will require soldering and alot of work, not to mention you will need good auto-electrics knowledge. It would be easier and less pain steaking to just buy the V6 conversion loom, not to mention the time you will save, and have support from V6 conversions along the way.

    Personelly I've never used one, but my understanding of them is, they plug straight into your original VK loom, with the exception of taping a couple of wires. It comes with detailed instructions, and V6 conversions seem to be pretty good with their after service.
