This coming from an Audi noob, but I would chase down the " 17800 bank2 camshaft g40 sensor open circuit/short with power" code first. This may or may not be the correct way, but I have found when working on multiple codes on a crank no start situation, I always try to deal with trigger items first. Hope that helps. Find yourself a manual and dig in. Try to work on one issue at a time.

...one other thing, is the engine you put in the same year as your chassis?

Might be stating the obvious but did you buy the engine complete with its ECU and the same engine code as before?
Look on ebay for Elsawin CD rom as far as a manual is concerned.
