Yes thanks looked at that before that shows adding wire loom the bit I read says that you don't need to change loom just add plate to inlet and that's all you need trying to find out if that's right

You would be as well strapping a blower to the engine whilst you are at it

Might as well go 2 litre in all honesty, 130bhp as opposed to 105 and oddly as it was never found in a hot hatch it can be cheaper to insure too. Pretty straight forward convertion too.
