I ran a turbo 2.0 16v a few years ago using the 914 trans and a Kennedy adapter. Believe it or not it fit without cutting any sheet metal. I ran it vertical rather than the stock 15 degree slant with a customised pan/pump so ground clearance wasn't an issue.

I just bought an 01E with the intent of putting the 16v in my current chassis, but it came with a 2.7 v6 attached to it and it's a bit tempting.

The problem with the 01E tranny is the axles. The flanges are nowhere near the same as the 914 AND the shafts are unequal length. I've found complete custom shafts but they're a bit spendy. I'm going back to the VW parts bin to measure more candidates today.
