Is this to stay turbo charged?
If so, I'm not sure how much point there is in swapping in an a7 - it's a high compression engine so you'll need to swap the pistons for low compression ones, by which point... Might as well have stuck an a2 in! (with a pde head if you want, although again if you're Turbo'd, I'm not sure how much even doing that would matter).
