No not a easy job mate, even more so with robs charge cooler setup, we had to put the battery in the boot to make room for the cooler

Also had to make a custom wiring loom half G60 have golf

Change from rod to cable gear change

Change from cable clutch to hydro clutch

Mix and match engine mounts from both

Flip the rad upside down as the water pipes are on the wrong side

Plus loads of little bits of custom stuff


Therefore would be much easier on a 16v I'm guessing.
