doesn't the ECU have information about your car that is distinctive to only your car? So if you swap it with lets say a stock ECU for a chipped ECU, would everything just work fine without anything else?

Default You'd have to recode your immobilizer.
Hopefully your dealer is cool with that...or you can find a tuner that is able to do that.

Default Find a local buyer and it's worth it
Even if you're charged for 1 hour of labor, you'd still come out on top.

You can use a vag to recode the immobilizer right?
