will cost a fair bit. you'll need a vts exhaust and inlet manifold with tb, vts loom and ecu. thats just of the top of my head. think you need to put a saxo sump on as well.
use a vts top mount and your other 2 mounts are fine

you will need
ecu
loom
sensors
sump
manifold exhaust & inlet with tb sensors.
oil filter conversion will need to be done
and u need to drill and tap the head on inlet side to fit saxo inlet
alternator

cheers lads but i forgot 2 mention that the engine has been all set up and running in his 106gti, i wasnt sure where i stand with engine mounts and what not as ive never really played about with many saxo's under the bonnet
