hi i have a 1.4 westcoast mk1, i was thinking of fitting a vts or 106 engine but want to know how easy the job is.

is it a simple drop straight in or alot of work and new parts. thanks

its not the hardest job, my mate just did a 106 gti conversion on his vtr and reckons it was simple

I bought my vts engine today.

Basically, i need
the engine
engine loom
unlocked ECU
a vts rad + piping
vts throttle cable, then drop it all in
