the s4 transmission swap much harder and more involved than just bolting it in...btw just so ppl know, a guy on vwvortex running 034efi standalone at a t61 made 684whp on the 1.8t

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2137343, its still pretty hard to make that kinda power on a t61, that turbo is def being pushed to the limits. Thats was also on race gas at 35psi...
Anyways unless you do the level 10 trans upgrade, I wouldnt think about anything bigger than a k04, but thats only from what i read, I have no personal experience with that
