depends what you want to spend, the G60 is a wild engine that is easy to tune over 200+ and the Vr6 is more of a smoother engine but is expensve to tune, i,ve personally gone for the G60 conversion,

i think the vr6's weight mucks up the handling a bit too

thats true, just go for the good old G60 or infact the 1.8t is just as cheap nowdays, but i'm standing by the VW classic, just love the supercharger whail,

Personally I am a fan of the G60. It gets alot of bad publicity as being expensive to tune and maintain but properly tuned it is bullet proof. I'll take a 'charger over a turbo anyway. No lag.

does anybody know roughly how much one of these conversions costs?

Off the top of my head I would say that to have it done you're looking at around 4K

You can get a good engine and charger for the region of ?1000. However I am going to look at getting a crashed G60 Corrado should I decide to do mine. Then I will have everything i need less the intercooler but am sure I can track down any bits i need.
