Saxo VTS engine is not exactly light its a big lump of Iron. But if you really want to fit one you would have the same sort of issues as fitting it to any other car that takes TU engines. I would imagine wiring is not a direct plug an play. If its a carb car you also have to think about fuel pump and fuel lines and so on. You still have to think about key pad or key codes or unlocking the ECU. You aslo hace have to mod the manifold / down pipe and so on
