My turbo 750 auto boxed is way beyond repair and to be honest i hate the electronic bulls#!^. I have a VQ stato 5L auto box and was wondering if there were any mods i had to do to change the VS back to the tough T700 box?

And wiring/connector for speedo etc etc, more trouble than it's worth for a daily, but if you super keen it can be done.

No you can't just change plugs.
Everything that connects to the VQ box will have to be transferred to the VS.
The ECU is not programmable so you will also probably need a custom MEMCAL so the ECU does not go into LHM.
As I said, not really a job worth doing and a PITA if you don't have a good understanding of how each system works.
I hear you when you say you don't like electronics but they are a necessary evil.
