be careful of the dimentions of the 2.0 throttlebody. Unlike a turbo engine you could cause some issues of loss of power and torque low down the rev range due to too large a throttlebody. This slows gas speed causing air to stall and fuel dropout.

different inlet manifold and head on c2 compaired to saxo.
hence why it has a different engine code.

they are from the same family, they also look totally different lol, different cam covers, different inlet manifold etc....
theres a few bhp gained from the reworked head, the head works well on a saxo bottom end though.

the only interchangeable throttlebodys on citroen and peugeot are the mk1vtr and the 106 1.6 & 1.4 xsi.
you have problems with all the others so are much easier either port & polishing or buying an after market throttlebody that is purpose made for the car but these are hard to come across

if you no what you are doing it is possible to drop any engine in any car just takes a bit more modifying for different engines

depends how ambitious you are with the engine? Seen V6 mounted in the back, but anything past that and your dreaming
