Hey Guest👍👎 We're looking for reviews of your local CUPRA or SEAT Dealership - it's quick and easy to do: Leave a review now
Assuming the engine is complete with gearbox, clocks, loom, ECU, exhaust etc etc (which you'll need) and you can fit it ok you'll also need upgraded brakes and suspension as a minimum to make it even vaguely safe to cope with the power. That and a fair amount for the insurance....
should imagine as same engine as whats in the leon anyways (engine code specific )
also not sure how other people have managed it theres a guy on sw-cc called raffa dropped one in his polo

Pass...not really sure to be honest mate although someone else will know.
I think the ECU and clocks need to be matched though

if i was him i would sell the car, and the engine and use the money from that to buy a leon cupra instead?! Won't have any issues with log book or anything and can sell it as a cupra then as well. Plus you will get all the extras like electric windows, climate control sports seats etc etc
he got the leon for real cheep and he loves doing engine conversions hence the reason he wants to do this
Personally I'd save all the hassle and get a Cupra, I love doing the mods myself, but what you are trying to replicate already exists. If he got it cheap then he could potentially make a profit should he sell it thus giving him more money to buy a Cupra.
Other things that may need to be considered are the braking system not just disc sizes and calipers but the master cylinder, servo and if you need a feed for a hydraulic clutch (1.4 may have a cable clutch). Rear brakes should also be considered.
All in all the amount of money needed to turn it into a 1.8t would be silly

tell him to keep the 1.4 leon to collect bits in then stick the 20vt in something more interesting
