well similar enough if you were going to do an engine transplant...

if you were wanting to put a turbo onto the engine you have currently theres a lot more work needed.

though as I said in my previous post... the amount it would cost to do the conversion you could sell the n/a and buy a 1.8t and wouldn't be a patch on the cost...
