Yes, it can and it is a transverse engine.
Dialynx in the UK recently dropped a 2.7l V6 with a fully programmable Motec 
EFI system in a TT,which engine is developping 445 HP!!!
They've even tested this engine to up to 612 Hp at 7000 RPM, so I think 
reliablity isn't a problem.
Well, that's for the expensive part of the thing, otherwise, you can drop 
the 12/30V 2.8 V6 in a TT with no major problems, except the usual wiring 
harness swap and modifications.

>could borrow the VR6 and put a turbo on it....

why not, if you have access to a VR6, but be careful to the head gasket and 
compression ratio with a turbo, these tiny sheets of "paper" tend to break 
pretty often, even without the turbo!
