Early cars, ie all UK cars, up to 1995 have an 8bit ecu, whereas cars after this have a 16bit ecu. It is thought that the later ones smooth things out a bit and can cope with a few mods to exhaust and intake better than the 8bit ones, which can\'t allow for the extra fuel needed.  

You need to find out what year the engine is.  But the engine should be the same internally, its just the plumbing etc that is different. Thats what I think anyway.
