Ok I have done as much reading as I can handle on this subject. And have come to the conclusion this is what I want to do.
I want to get a complete turbo engine with head, tb injectors etc. Just like i got my new n/t engine.
so if the engine i purchase is complete in the sense that if i was putting it in a tsi i would just have to connect all the wires, vac lines, sensors etc. What would I need to do to my n/t to make it a drop in swap like that.
From my self education this is what i have come up with:
I will need (if complete tsi engine is used)
ECU MAF DOWNPIPE INTERCOOLER AND PIPING WIRING HARNESS ???? FUEL PUMP (PROBABLY GO FOR A 255LPH WALBRO) KNOCK SENSOR FPR RESISTOR PACK ? (I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS DOES OR WHERE IT GOES) FUEL LINES??? MBC OR BOOST CONTROL SOLENOID S-AFC?? DATALOGGER KEEP N/T FLYWHEEL TO USE MY TRANNY WITH TSI MOTOR

It is on the drivers side near the coilpack (I keep wanting to say it's bolted on the intake, but it's been a couple months since I did my swap). Also - do up a cost comparison of this swap vs. selling your car and getting a TSi.

From VFAQ: http://www.angelfire.com/il2/freestyle/turboconversion.html A good read, good for the list of parts and actaully doing the work on the car. A few things I dont agree with like the oil squrter issue, they are there for a reason. No real need for a clutch ASAP uless your current one is slipping, but be prepared to change it soon
1990 TSi AWD - Parked since I bought it (Jan24/03) Had it out one day, and busted the trans.

Well not only the cost comparison, but the quality comparison. Like if i sold my esi and bought a tsi, I don't want to have to put 2000$ into the engine becuase it hasnt been properly maintained. Where as if i bought a jdm engine with low kms theres less to worry about. So what should i do guys? Also my car is in great shape, no rust, never seen a winter. Also what kind of dfference should i expect on insurance rates if i were to sell and get a tsi? And if selling and buying a tsi is a better way to go does anyone have one thats been looked after and is up for sale come spring. Basically I'm, looking for something in good shape for 6000$ and under. As I could spend s couple g's on my esi to make it a turbo, or sell it and use the money towards a tsi. So someone hook me up here i don't want to do something i'll regret.
