Why is that? does the compressor or turbin housing hit the lower intake manifold?
Thats the only thing i could think of causing a problem.
But you are still going to have plumbing issues. (oil/water)
Easier is to buy a S4 or S5 TII motor, use a GSL-SE oilpan and front cover. Make your own oil return and bolt it in.. (you either have to change out the flywheel/clutch too or use a tII tranny)
Thats what i did with mine. I even used a TII tranny with a little bit of work and a custom tranny mount and driveshaft.
