Yeah I'm the one with the quest and it wouldn't make ANY sense for me to put THAT engine in. First off I wouldn't be getting ANY better gas mileage than I am now. Which is the point of wanting the bug. Turbo = Premium gas. Bug = regular gas. Second Conquest TSi = RWD. To install that engine in the bug I'd be putting the driveline in backwards and have to drive around in reverse all day. Not a feasable option.
As for the lack of seeing the engine. Most of it is actually under the car. The bug is a 4 cylinder vehicle with 2 cylinders on the driver's side and 2 on the passenger's side. They are under the car to allow airflow to go around them increasing the cooling to the engine. I had a nice long description written but I was having login trouble again so it didn't get posted. But that's a start there.
