kinda remember stuff about you having to change the loom - after all, you now have 4 injectors, an airflow meter and an idle switch if i remember rightly, all of which you didn't have before, and the wiring for them is something extra.
also if you can find a second anti roll bar, for the rear, that'll make things a bit better handling-wise. no more of that 1-litre drunken sway round the more extreme corners!

You will need the following to convert a 1.0L polo to a GT:
Engine
Gearbox
Wiring Loom
ECU
Ancillaries
Inline Fuel pump
Rear Axle (optional)
Dampered steering rack (optional)
For a proper job, you also want uprated suspension and vented front disc brakes.
Tbh, it's not worth bothering when you can buy GT's for a bit more than normal Mk 3 models.
