best way, take about 10,000 out of your bank account and give the car to a rotary shop.

Or you can drill and tap the intermediate housing and swap the front plate for a S4 or S5 one and use the FC oil pan.

You'll need:
an EMS of some kind.
Lots of patience with all of the the damned Vacuum lines.
FMIC
Someone who can properly drill and tap the center iron, using a FD oil pan baffle plate works from what i've seen
Unsequential the turbos as Ice said, definitely
Swap the twin Oil cooler setup for a FC oil cooler, it's larger and cools better.
PATIENCE AND EXTRA MONEY TO GO TO.

Have fun, post pics.

Those are horrid! Weld quality asside, all the weight from the engine is placed onto one side of the mount. That's just asking for failure...
