just do the whole swap, it will be cheaper in the long run.

your best bet is to sell the na and buy a tt. the swap is very labor intensive and you will end up spending just as much money as the difference in price between the two cars. also you will get the tt differential, axles and depending on the year better brakes. theres other little things that make buying a tt a much better idea.

i agree. working on the VG30DE is enough of a hassle without trying to cram 2 turbos and all the associated piping in. either get a front clip (good luck) or just buy a TT. the swap may be about the same price difference but all the little things will nickle and dime you to death. make sure you upgrade brakes before anything else. make sure oyu aim for a 93-95. 90's were missing alot of good bits. 91-92 the build quality wasn't as good. 96's dropped power due to emissions and OBD II.

I have a 91 TT and either way you look at it, buying an engine or turboing it is a HUGE pain....just sell it and save up for a TT its worth it.
