you couldn't tell me some could you mate as that would be a big help and what are the gains

Depends on exactly what engine its off. For example a MPI head is totally different to a SPI head. Even a late model VTR has a totally different head casting to a early model.

Any benefits of fitting a late mk1 VTR head on a W reg Quiky?

I am not overly familiarly with the 1.4 TUs from the Saxos. But generally speaking the 1.4 engines have the same size or smaller valves then the 1.6. There are often good gains to be had by fitting a big valve head to a engine that had the small valve. But it can be a right pain to do often involving swapping entire injection systems over.
