Sorry its took 3 weeks to reply mate but I did this with BigCab.

 

The easiest answer is EVERYTHINGm. We had whole donor car to rob the bits off though so everytime we found something different it was to hand. The RS car was almost a bare shell when we'd doe. For the easiest, we change the whole dash as well, but depends if you need to keep the mk3 dash original. A good electrician should be able to marry the Mk4 loom to the mk3 dash.

 

One thing we did notice the intercooler and radiator was an issue. There didnt seem to be room for the fan so I needed to take a chunk out of the front panel to make room. The mk4's dont have this panel.

Everything as said before though the s1 turbo has a diffrent rad and intercooler setup to fit the MK3 front end. So your best getting this rad and intercooler setup. everything else will be fine
