Regarding that good point, I've been wondering if theres a good (ostensible)
technical reason for Audi mounting the engine the wrong way [my perspective]
in the engine bay...

If there is, i've not yet gained appreciation for it, however that TT
handles incredibly well..  Maybe by the time they come down in price, my
eyes will adjust to appreciate their looks.

a six speed and that engine in it.

Its transverse fit might make that a challenge. Would the block where
it mates to the transmission bolt right up? You'll also need to re-work
the header.
