you would need a mighty strong chassis to hold it, and all the running gear uprated to take the extra amount of torque...then you gotta get it in the engine bay

it'd never fit in the standard bay. remember vw had to redesign the V6 to fit in the mk3. Major mods to every dept!

Thats one seriously expensive engine, surely a RS6 or even RS4 engine would be the same power-wise and a bit easier to slot in. Oh yeah.. it won't fit in the bay at all, would need to be mid/rear mounted.
