   Hey guys! This is my first post.
   I've just bought a saxo as my first car... pictures up soon...
   I'm looking to do an engine swap to a 106GTI engine, i've done a search of the forum but not much comes up (maybe im searching the wrong thing)
   
   Could you tell me what would be involved and stuff please. At the mo i've got the 1.1 engine.
   Cheers
   Ellis

   Basic bits are;
   Engine
   Unlocked ECU
   Wiring Loom
   VTS throttle cable
   VTS exhaust manifold
   
   
   Then you can fit the twin fan set up etc if you want
   You can fit an S gearbox, or just put your 1.1 box back on. Maybe use an S1 rallye box.
   
   
   More info in those threads though mate so have a read through

   Is that showroom full of Bodykitted cars?
   
   GTi conversion you need:
   Engine, Loom, Ecu (same plug as car if you want to save yourself a load of hassle, Top Radiator Hose, Exhaust and Inlet Manifold, Vts throttle cable,
   Possibly a vts upper engine mount.
   
   I like the smooth boot btw
