Default Mk5b xr3i engine conversion

Hi peeps i have a mk5b xr3i 105 bhp and have also got a 130 engine, inlet, throttle body and ecu and was just wondering if everything will be a direct straight swap to convert mine to a 130 or is there anything else i need?

Thing is my mate says i need the engine loom aswell but as far as i'm aware the looms are the same between the 105 and 130 as the only difference in engines and ancillaries are cams, ecu, throttle body and the oil cooling jets in the block for the pistons,

If anyone else has any feedback or info that would be great so i can get on with the swap if i know i've got everything,

Any help anyone can give would be very much appreciated cheers, Grant

You'll also need the MAF sensor. Looms are the same.
