    Anything is possible. It would be more expensive though because it would be a bit more rare to do but defiantly possible

    Yes.

    Be prepared to spend probably the same amount as you spent for the entire car though.

    If you are ready to spend a lot of money get a GTI, sell your car and do the GTI up.
    Even then you will get a lot of torque steer, and a lot of wheelspin. Your clutch might start slippong, CV joints might wear out quicker, etc. FWD can never take a lot of power. MK5 GTIs have trouble putting power on the ground with everything stock
