If he knows he has to cut down the shafts, rebalance them and maybe even sort the hubs then yea, he is aware

Do you want to fit the Sri engine yourself? Or you paying some one to fit it for you?
You could get such a fast boosted Saxo j4 with 5 grand, if you carried out the work yourself. It's not hard. That would sort the car tbh. brakes,suspension j4 maybe with forged pistons or if tight a decompression plate, it would sort mani and turbo and Intercooler, all pipework, Ecu is not a problem, you would probs need to buy stand alone anyway fitting the 405 lump into the Saxo. Sorting compression isn't a problem at all. And a remap? Come on mate that's a drive up to a tuner piece of piss. If you don't know about turboing then read up on here, loads and loads have done it and will give as much solid advice as possible. Loads of threads to follow. Turboing isn't hard people, you just need to research!
I'm seriously advising you that your making a mistake if you fit that lump. If you like your Saxo, boost it. If you don't get a 306 or whatever those engines drop straight into. Not having a go just my advice mate. don't waste your time and hard earned money on something that's going to be shit to drive. Unless of course your doing it as a show car and don't care how it drives.

Cheers mate.the only issue is I don't have £5000.I barely have a grand.lol.which is y it is so appealing to me.as I said i am gonna research it further and if it is a no no then I probably will just go down the TB route.but ATM it's looking promising.if it can't be done then my buddy will tell me and I will just sell the car I brought no probs. And mapping obviously all depends on what unit you get as certain places don't map certain brands.

What did I get wrong? I just skirted across the essentials. Wiring is quite easy, there are enough guides on 205 forums. Nobody really uses the gti6 box due to its size and weakness.
My own personal opinion would be to stick with a TU unit in a saxo, but I wasn't giving my opinion just answering the guys question. But if he wants to put the XU engine in let him. As has been said they are better suited to the larger pugs / citroens. But it would be a hoot in a saxo so why not.
