V8 LS is an easy fit if you buy the parts from USA as they are all tried and tested, just a much bigger budget. 1.8T is an easy fit and cheap as chips to do.
I suspect the 5 pot would bolt up in the same way as I did mine
I quite like the thought of a 2.5 v6 tdi 6 speed box if it can handle the power just for the sixth gear.
The 5 pot would bolt up easily but i'm actually thinking of the later 5 pot from the newer golfs/tt rs. As I can get one of them for around 50 quid but then its custom everything to fit it
I've seen quite a few ls swaps but they seem all too common, not many people have actually got running driving 1.8t swaps.
