Far easier to replace the internals in the TSI Amarok with stronger components and then go a K04 upgrade turbo.

If you want details of the OEM engine components look at Erwin.

I have a TSI Amarok and 7.5 R and would not even attempt to do a swap .... I will though build the TSI Amarok engine into a Stg 4 capability as I have a turbo upgrade on the shelf waiting. First will finish of the 4WD conversion though.
Turbo fitment and fitting everything is the easy part but the coding and wiring that's the hard part
