Slapping a 14b on a 4G63NT

[Hooptytalon]

The motor in my TSi is on it's way out. I want to rebuild it but do so with minimal downtime. I've been looking for a replacement 6 bolt long block for a couple of weeks, all I can find locally are some(3 of em') really clean 4g63 N/T engines (all the turbo models i've found are at least 500 miles from here and I can't afford shipping) I've read that only difference between the N/t and T 4g63 motors are the piston squirters and the pistons themselves(higher comp. -NT).
To save a buck and a bunch of downtime I was thinking about swapping in the 4g63nt with my 14b and exhaust manifold and supporting intake piping...just run it low pressure 10 or less psi.
Is this a bad idea?



Thanks

Heres the walkthrough on how another member did it and is still running his car to my knowledge. Contact MAVISKY if you have any questions concerns about this directly because he honestly has "first hand" experience with this task.
