TCM Patches & E38 ECU + Manual Box

Hi,
The general Tab shows the TCM and VATS Patches options.
Since my car has a Manual Box and No TCM are these patches Applicable?
Assuming they are : What do they do?

Hi
This may seem an obvious but there is explanitory detail in the help files that explains what these do to the operating system nor what circumstances which make them applicable?

VATS is for disabling VATS for engine swaps etc.

TCS (not TCM) is to disable the invalid torque signal that gets sent to other modules (such as the EBCM) so that TCS doesn't disable or the trans doesn't default to a non torque mode if the MAF is removed.

Thanks - Since I am not doing either of these then these would not appear to applicable.

Just to clarify - does "MAF removed" also apply if the MAF is disabled by setting the fail requency to Zero for speed density tuning with fuel trims and/or Wideband O2's?
