Speak to tigz (that's his username on here) he's driving a 6n 1.8T, I'm sure he could tell a thing or too. He didn't build it himself but knows a fair bit.

Typical scenario though is you need donor driveshafts, custom engine mounts, stand alone engine management for the easiest route (Although hooking up OEM can be done). And a host of other stuff that goes over my head.

I Have built a Polo 6n G40 myself it on here under the Mk4 section as Polo 6n G40 as well as the for sale section.
Happy to answer your questions.

For ease i would say the G40 but the 1.8T has more tune-ability

G40 for ease, 1.8t for more power - if you get the dash and loom from a 1.8T you're laughing.
