Message Don't kid yourself, It's a LOT of work. A week would definitely not be long enough to do the swap (unless maybe you're a seasoned pro). Don't get me wrong, not saying you shouldn't do it, but budget your time and money accordingly. As soon as you pull the NA motor, you'll realize how much you'll have to do - pull the dash to install the 5 speed pedals, wire everything (if you want it all to function like stock), weld in the clutch line bracket / install hardlines, etc.

And that's not even taking into account the TT swap - you'll need lots of parts that may not come with your engine (TT radiator, Intercooler pipes / intercoolers, Recirc valves... the list gets pretty long very quickly. If you're going to do it, I ercommend finding a wrecked donor car so you have everything you need on hand.

But there's still no guarantee the motor / turbos are up to snuff... which will then bring you down a very expensive road by the time you start to rebuild this, upgrade that, etc.

Good luck!
