I'd have thought that the 1.6 computer would be almost a necessity for this.

You'll almost certainly be able to get it running on the original one, but it may generate perpetual error lights when things seem out of spec.

Biggest hurdle I can see, is if the throttle body and air flow measurements are different types between the motors.

You need the saxo ecu/loom. The loom plugs are different so a combination of wiring will need to be used. Easy enough to sort. Ecu may need unlocking too?

Best bet is having a look on one of the saxo forums, its a common conversion plenty of info out there.
