   what do you need to know?
   easiest route is get a vts/gti engine/loom/ecu(unlocked) from the same year as yours is,
   ie 3 plug to 3 plug and single plug to single for a plug and play conversion
   will need to sort out the top rad hose, and throttle cable but £2.99 for bike gear cable from halfords does the job beautifully

   also need to sort out the fuel return on it, either block it off or fit in a return to the tank

   Don't you need a higher rated fuel pump too as spi doesn't make the same pressure?
