   was looking to do this myself mate, but it is a bit of a pain, you may have a few problems, setting can be an issue as it uses a stepper motor, where as saxo's use ICV. (depending on which model/year etc)

   um, dont think it would be massive, might see a slight improvement in throttle response. Its a Larger volume than standard inlet, alloy rather than plastic so less likely to break, it also has a larger throttle body, so you'd get better flow.

   Dont know if its relevant but they only fit on the early style MPI MA engines. Not the late MPI or early SPI or carb.

    Individual throttle bodies, Wilder cam with map, Turbocharger, Supercharger, N20, Fitting any of the more powerful MA engines or a combination.

    Correct. However, i don't need a stepper motor / idle control valve so don't have the hassle of that. And the remap to suit the new TPS positions took all of 60 seconds and £0 thanks to the standalone and a laptop.
    
    Physically - the hardest part about it was swapping over the throttle cable and drilling a hole in the inlet to pass the injector wiring through. But wouldn't have attempted it if i didn't have standalone.
