Sooo tempted to write a guide for people who want to stick 1.8T into a mk4.  Amount of times it gets asked and no one searches.

Wasnt directed at you personally.

Chances are, your 2.0 box will be 02J so you would probably be alright in terms of transmission as you can use your 2.0 setup.  You would need a new clutch to cope with 1.8T power, but a 2.0 clutch would more than likely bolt onto the 1.8T block, but soon die from the power.

Looms you will need the engine loom and the looms that go to the ECU.  Brakes would need upgrade and full 1.8T exhaust or something 2.25" bigger bore.

You could always do a K04 conversion at the same time. With the second hand prices of S3 and LCR being so low you could brake them for the parts you need and make money off what you don't want. Pick the right donor car and you could have 280bhp, big brakes and a leather interior. Depends if you have the time, money, skill etc.
