T6 Engine replacement

[Tim Sims]

Just purchased a 2017 T6 highline 102ps, 5 speed with a CXGB engine, engine is/was seized. What are the options on engine replacement, i.e just replace with same engine, or change to the 150ps with a 6 speed or DSG, or what about the possibility of changinging to a passat or golf engine and gearbox?

Welcome to the T6 Forum!
Put simply, anything is possible, especially if you have deep pockets. There are Youtube videos of people putting all kinds of exotic engines in a T6, but let's be realistic; the simplest way forward for you is to replace your engine with another CXGB engine.
So it really depends what you are trying to achieve and how much you want to pay.
One thing you wouldn't want to do would be mate a powerful, torquey engine to your 5 speed box, they're not renowned for being able to cope with big power.
Good luck and please keep us updated.
