1 you will need a 1.8t engine
2 you will need all the loom wiring gear box and clutch
3 you will need someone with enough know about ripping your engine out and replacing it with the turbo engine.

A lot of money would be needed to buy and fit really!  :rolleyes:

Best bet is to sell your motor and go out and purchase a 1.8t
