YES and NO.

1. You need a Built to APEX "FD to FC OIL RACE PAN" to install the engine. Best one out there today.

2. Then you need a new engine wiring harness to fire it up.

Other option is to replace the front cover with the FC model and use the FC engine harness but need to change the ECM to a S4/5 Adaptronics or Apexi with Banzai harness to fire up the engine.

If you buy anything from B2A expect it to take 3-5 business years. The man is simply unreliable and I would not recommend his business to anyone.

simply, no. you can buy mounts to put the engine in the car, and use the FC clutch. everything else is not a bolt in, so cooling system, oil lines, intake and intercooler piping, ecu and the wiring....

How about this?

Also, it's bridgeported so would I need to upgrade anything else in my car since my car is stock?

That looks to be an S4 turbo engine, so yes it will drop in. Depending on your car, you may need to update the rest of the drivetrain to T2 parts. If this engine is bridgeported, you will need a standalone ECU. The stock ECU will not work.

I was alternatively thinking about getting my current engine rebuilt. I got a quote from a local shop for these parts. It's $6000. That doesn't include any labour. Does that sound about right?

Is there a kit that contains all of the above so I can compare prices to the quote I got? Minus the rotor

Many of those parts quoted tend to not need to be replaced, or at least only some of them. I personally dont quote those parts on the outset and break up rebuilds into two invoices: Teardown and inspection being one, rebuild/assembly being the other.
