One thing to definitely look at though is whether it is an fsi generation - if it is, it becomes much more difficult of a build because these require factory harness and ecu's to run (unless you are going to run motronic, which is hella expensive). This then complicates other issues such as transmission(phaetons weren't offered in a manual) and other peripherals (factor MAF, sensors, etc). The ecus can be modified (nefmoto is an entire community dedicated to this) but be prepared to dive balls deep if you want any chance of doing it right.
Disclaimer - I don't have any direct experience with these motors. This is just what I learned in researching the swaps a few months back.

Thanks. This is not the fsi motor, i believe its a standard 40v audi unit with the me7.1.1 computer. Not sure about the intake srage count but i understand the tranny should bolt up. Not sure where people are finding good cheap audi motors.
