There you're dealing with a whole 'nother set of issues...  The Quantum
Syncro has an I5 in it (same as 4Kq).  Putting a 4-cylinder TDI engine in
there is not a problem as far as space goes, but now you're going to be
dealing with gutting out all the CIS components, and figuring out how
to put the TDI's EFI system in there.  Other things that depended on
an ignition pulse (like the tachometer) won't have one any more...
When doing these radically different engine swaps, space and fitment
is usually the least of the worries.  It's the zillion other little
niggling details that would make it a PITA, cost a fortune or kill the
project altogether.
