This is the electronic part of the dashboard:
arduino mega, with brakeout board, and some resistors and optocouplers to pick up analog and digital signals from the car, since we do not have can bus on our grand dads...
Anyway, the engine is out
and the new one is in
still hanging by a thread, but getting there , closer every day
and some bird nest in the trunk
took the whole unit from the b5 passat , engine code APU, small port DBW engine with automatic 5hp19 boasting mighty 150hp.
Had to swap axle hubs from the porsche gearbox, and while i was there, i counted the teeth on the drive gears. the passat final drive is quite a bit longer (or porsche one shorter)
could not determine output shaft sensor type so i went with the engine and gearbox alltogether.
only thing needing modification are the 3 threaded holes for the oil cooler mount. and axle hubs as said earlier.
Currently i am sorting out the cooling system. it is quite a bit different then the f6 and v6 engine.

Passat does not have trans oil cooler like the porsche, i have to figure out where to connect it...
also both radiator hoses are on the same side of the engine , badly oriented, which required a lot of hose, or modification of the water routing under the car which i did, and will explain later...
