If not the whole engine, there was a rhumour that the bottom ends are the same as the D3

You'd have to buy the 8spd gearbox too if its MY12 cars engine. Plus, I wouldn't fancy trying to insure a D3 with a D4 engine in.... Plus you'd need to uprate suspension, brakes etc...

Del, will it need a new turbo?
Sorry all techied out, it'll need a turbo (there would be a hole otherwise) but whether it has to work is different issue.

I did see that, and appreciate it. However, in the ad it says it has "issues". Would rather steer clear of that
