Thats why i want to know.
My ecu is stuffed, had an accident with a water bottle.
I have another manual chip and a spare auto ECU, thats why i need to know if it will work

Some VS PCM's dont have all the circuitry to read the manual speed sensor, you have to try it, if you get code 24 setting you have sruck out & will need to find either a manual one or an auto one with all the bits in it.

ok so let get this right.

you have put larger injectors in, thorttle body is bored out, you have full sprts system and want the car to go better but yet want to have fuel economy.

firstly i would say put the standard injectors back in as they will work just fine on a stock motor. they would not be doing anything but waste petrol.

Put standard throttle body back on also, without a retune the throttle body will be doing wierd things to the tune.

if you want some more power get some mace high lift rockers then talk to dr bob for a mail order tune. dont expect much as it is a v6 at the end of the day. after you do tune and rockers i would say you will get around about 130rwkw's.

Bigger injectors will do **** all for your almost stocko V6 dude. You would need a bigger fuel pump, even if you got that, pouring more fuel into your engine isn't going to help with power, it will just waste fuel. Bigger TB will do **** all as with the mods you have, you can put a bigger TB on, but your engine won't suck more air in because of it (unless of course you had it tuned).

Try a set of good extractors for your exhaust, a flash tune from either Greenfoam, Doctor Bob or Delcowizzard (all forum members), a stage 2 shift kit and a good CAI.

Gutting your cat is a dumb idea too, if a cop notices that (which a trained one could due to the awful noise it emits), so go to the wreckers and buy a stock cat and put that in. It does sweet F/A for power and even if it did, it's not worth the fine you would get for having a gutted cat.
