Default MFI XR3I Mk4 to MFI RS Turbo Engine

If I swap the mfi xr3i engine to an mfi rs turbo engine, will the loom and ecu need changing?
Are there any other difficulties?
Thanks

yeah the loom and ecu needs changing but its not hard altho it looks it, just make sure the earths get reconected to the body and everything will fall into place other than that it strait foward.

Just done the swap. Easier to swap whole loom. Ive never done anything like it before but found it pretty easy going. Hardest bit was having to chop the fuel pump and sender wires but just resoldered back on new loom.
