225 Engine in 180 FWD (Replacement)

hey fellas, just had my timing belt break and apparently nothing is fixable and it needs a new engine block, or a used replacement engine. It is a 2000 TT FWD (180 HP) 5 Speed Manual, is there any way the 225 engine could be used?

If you get everything, including ECU it should work and make the higher HP

It'll fit but you'll need,,,

new turbo, downturn, custom exhaust, intake manifold, intercooler plumbing, intercooler, ECU software, front engine bracket,etc.

to gain full benefits of the 225 design.
