Does anyone know if you could fit an entire GTi-6 head? and would there be any advantage to doing so?

mucho larger valves, double valve springs and a ported combustion chamber, the cylinder head, manifolds and ingition system is the only difference between the XU10J4R and the XU10J4RS

So it might be worth using the whole gti-6 cylinder head on a 1.8/2.0? I suppose then to see the best gains the ecu would need remaping unless a gti6 ecu would work in the 406. Only theoretically speaking, I don't plan on doing it.
