Engine swap

Would a uk MY97 engine fit straight into a MY99 uk turbo.
I am led to believe MY97 is phase 1 and MY99 is phase 2.what are the differences between these 2 engines? Is it a case of changing the heads and inlet man? would ecu need to be remapped?
thanks in advance - Leon

MUCH easier to get the right engine.
