   Hey guys, I'm currently looking at a Saxo 1.4 Furio which a neighbor is selling at a bargain price. The thing is its high milage so i will be changing the engine but would prefer to change to a VTS engine. Could anyone please list what would be needed to do this? It's a furio 2000 model

   I'm not sure mate, I've looked at the whole in and outside of it it;s in good condition. I havent looked/ checked the ECU to see if it's a 3 or Single. Where is the ECU at? (im not very good at cars mechanically, just know basics + few extra;s lol)

   If you open the bonnet it will sit above the wheel arch on the drivers side. It may have a plastic cover on it and there will either be a large single plug plugging into it or three smaller ones

   Being a 2000 Furio will be single plug.
   
   Not being funny if you have no clue forget the idea or pay someone.

   simple enough mate, but as said above, if you have no idea dont do it pal, if youre anywhere near huddersfield/leeds/wakefield etc gimme a shout
   
   but , the basics youll need are, an unlocked ecu , the engine ( including exhaust manifold etc ), loom, top rad hose, gear cable ( for the throttle cable, 1.99 from halfords ) and thats it, would also be wise to while the engine is out to do the timing belt/new plugs/new oil filter!
   
   the conversion can be done easily within half a day if everything goes smoothly, but if i were you i would save a hundred or so just incase you run into issues!
