Lol... You seriously couldn't..
If you get a gti6 mani cut open, shite removed and welded up, it'd be fine, or just literally turn a gti6 mani into a short runner by chopping the original plenum off with an empty plenum welded to it, it'd be fine...
Exhaust side wise - just get your stock manifold, chop the original flange off, weld a pipe that brings it along the back of the engine, and then puts it in the battery box, then you just need to make a downpipe from the turbo back to the exhaust... You don't need fancy ass tuned manifolds, it may not drive quite as well off boost, but all of that's going to be made up for once the turbo spins
All XU blocks have oil outlets on the back of the block, you just undo the nut and shove in a DT oil line... Dunno about the return, but thats what the dipstick tube is for, no?Couple of lbs of boost and then a boost sensitive fuel pressure regulator and just put the throttle plate before the turbocharger with the MAP sensor pre turbo, it'd be fine... It'd take some fiddling and some monitoring of AFR, but it's doable with shed technology
You could achieve around the same mark as the XU10J4RS engines on low boost chargers.. You may get problems since your AFRs are going to be a bit more inconsistent, so maybe 220-230bhp... But if you tune it conservatively and always keep an eye on AFRs, you'd be absolutely fine.
Do it.
