I think you would need the loom, engine, intercooler, radiator, ECU's, fuel metering unit, fuel accumulator, fuel pump, turbo, exhaust system, I'm sure I've missed something off if so someone will let you know.

I don't know how hard it would be on a MK5 wether or not the speedo etc is the same as the Mk4.

Cheers

i wouldnt say it was a waste of time.. if the car in your sig is yours.. ive seen that somewhere before and it looked quite tidy...
If you have a complete donor car it would be fairly easy to swap everything over! (if you have a general idea about what your doing! )
