If they're both zetecs, i'd take everything from the old engine and bolt it onto the new one.. plug and pray..

If they're both 1.8's, it'll be the same.. The Si is apparently 105PS and the GTI is 115PS.. I doubt you'd notice the difference..

my Si had 115ps, but I plugged and prayed with the 130ps efi manifold & 2L throttlebody... and I noticed a big difference, I just hope ECU makes a difference aswell!

I've been in a 105ps si and it seemed slow compared to even 115ps one
