There's someone in Germany running a VR6 + Turbo in his Mk4, complete madness.
But it answers your question eh!
None of these swaps (bar the G40) is anywhere near easy though.

a SEAT 1.8 or 2l out of an Ibiza would fit, as Alex said - the G40 is easiest if you've got the right mounts
polo 16

i'm not 100% sure on the other cars but if you have a 1.3cl the engine mounts are almost identical - you just need to move one about an inch forward.
Would be interested in selling the lump with out the charger?
