What would i need to turbo charge a 2001 VW jetta?

My sister has a stock jetta and i would like to get it turbo charged for her because i have a wrx and she likes the power of mine.What would i need to turbo charge a 2001 VW jetta?your best bet would be to get a 1.8t complete motor, trans, ecu, and wiring harness off of a total jetta or gti, possibly from ebay. Its just far too much work turboing a NA engine and they aren't nearly as reliable. If you do choose to turbo her NA engine you are going to need; a turbo, bigger injectors, a better fuel pump, you have to tap the block for the oil line that feeds the turbo (once you do this there is no turning bad), and intercooler setup with piping, a blow off/ bypass valve, and you have to get your ecu reprogrammed to run all this new stuff. I'm sure that there are at least a few things that I'm missing in the list but you can see doing a swap would be much easy, cost effective, and reliable.What would i need to turbo charge a 2001 VW jetta?a turbo, a jetta, and money
