You need the SE front cover, engine mount and oil pan. Search for Steve84GS's posts. He has a CA legal 300 hp S5 swap.

The SE front cover will need to be modded to accept the electronic mop, or mounted off to the side, plugged in, then pre-mix.

I did use the front cover of the 12a just grind the inside a bit to make it fit and drill a hole on the side and tap it for so that you can put a fitting for return line of oil from the turbine. Oil pan I used a 13b 1985 engine oil pan. Done....good luck on your project..
