you will have to "mess about" with the ECU for the 2.0 engine anyway.

have a look in the articles section for the Xe install guide + wiring diagrams etc

Most straight forward probably a gte/gsi/sri (injection models), will already have the fuel lines/tank/pump setup for your needs

a 1.2 injection model, these use an intank pump which you can swap over with a multipoint pump. Can keep all lines this way

1.2 carb you will need to change fuel lines/pump/tank etc
