any vagcom program or a specific one? I'm new to the vagcom... used to be a honda owner. So could I get one of the vagcom kits on Ebay, plug into my car with that new ECU, switch it by computer and then be ready to go?

The kits on ebay don't come with programming and require you to either download the shareware version of the vagcom software, or purchase the full version license.
