afm is different, throttle body and throttle position sensor is different, tank vent valve isnt the same as an xe, its let specific. hot start valve in the top hat, cams are different (holy poo i have a set for sale).
its not a lot of difference really, but finding a tank vent valve apparantly is a pain. there is probably a fw other things ive totally forgotten about. i should know aswell as ive just stripped mine of all the std loom and sensors etc aswell.

tank vent valve is let specific apparantly. throws up fault code if you plug an xe one in. throttle body has vacuum for the map sensor in the ecu, and also where the large breather on an xe goes back to throttle body, this is blanked off as that pipe runs from rocker cover into the turbo inlet.
oh, you will need an amal valve aswell.
