I'd guess the abs ecu is different too but I'm not sure.
In short, there are so many differences that (imho) it will be less trouble to keep looking for the TT you want. Fwiw I'd guess (again this is a only guess) that you'd need to spend about $10K in parts (used) and at least 80 hours of labor to do the full conversion.
Fwiw, in my experience there really are no dumb/newbie questions after you've done a search, but I have seen a few dumb answers posted. I sincerely hope that my answer here wasn't one of them...

Thanks for the info. My father who helps me with my car work grew up on old hot rods where a motor swap involved only the motor and a few minor accessories. Looks like I should just keep looking for that 6speed targa TT.
If you don't mind me asking where did you find your car and how rare is a TT with the options that I want. I know there is the list of cars made but I can only venture a guess as to how many were destroyed. Stupid fast and the furious
