Anything is possible.
But you would want to rebuild the whole motor, drop the compression down and would have to build a custom single or dual turbo setup. By then you might as well have sold the 12v and bought a used S4.

Forged internals might be a good idea. You are going from a NA motor to a turbocharged motor.
Maybe if you are running like 5lbs of boost then you can stick with the stock internals.

Are you speaking from experience?
With proper tuning you can safely run 10psi of boost without removing the valvecover. I have done it and the engine ran reliably for 15,000 miles. I have run up to 14 psi on stock internals and when the engine was torn down for a rebuild in preparation for 20psi it was in perfect condition. I don't know why people have the misconception that putting a turbocharger on a NA engine requires a built engine, it doesn't.

Just saw that you have a TEC 2..
How do you like it? I have my 1.8T A4 in for the Autronics right now. I was deciding between the TEC 3 and Autronics, and ended up with the Autronics, because of the rumored ease of wiring and tuning.
