They don't need new pistons mate. The std ones are good for lots of hp. Seriously headgaskets don't just die, the worst someone could do is run it with some non-VW coolant.
If anything did quit on you, it can all be done with the engine in, except a crank/main bearing replacement.

what turbo do you want to get, and frankenturbo F21 doesnt need rods and should be good for 170kw atw with supporting mods and tune

I wouldn't be going any more than a FT like the one on my Polo.
If that's the way you want to go, PM Lito about his old ECU and flog your Oettinger one. He has some S3 injectors that you need as well. You'll have to do without cruise control but it'll save you $1000ish on a tune for it.
