Hi, I have a Volkswagen golf gti 20 v Mark 4 1999, the engine has seized and I have found an engine on eBay which is exactly the same but is a turbo, would it be possible to transplant the second hand engine in to my golf?

You should be able to do this but you will need the turbo exhaust, and the ecu may also be different, you will have to check the part # as injection calibration may be different.
