Hi all, I’m planning something a bit different with my Mk3 Fabia Monte Carlo (2016, 1.2 TSI, 6-speed manual) and wanted to get opinions from the community on feasibility. The idea: Swap in a complete 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 3 engine (from a Golf GTI/R donor car), along with its 6-speed manual transmission, ancillaries, and ECU. The aim is a proper drive-in/drive-out conversion with supporting mods: IS38 turbo (stock Golf R unit) High-flow FMIC, intake, and turbo inlet 200-cell sports cat downpipe exhaust. Coilovers (Bilstein B14 or equivalent), uprated mounts & bushes Golf donor brakes + uprated pads, braided lines, RBF 600 fluid Target: ~370–390 bhp / ~430–450 Nm (kept within safe limits of the MQ350 6-speed box). Has anyone seen a Mk3 Fabia with this swap before? Are the Golf/Octavia mounts, shafts, and subframe geometry close enough for a “bolt-in” fit, or is custom fabrication unavoidable? Any known CANBUS / electronics nightmares (ABS, ESP, cluster, immobiliser) I should watch out ? Just want to sense-check before I dive in.

I have a 2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2 TSI Monte Carlo. It is the 6 speed manual, I believe its 110bhp (correct me if I'm wrong). Just gauging what is actually possible in terms of performance mods? Is/can the EA211 a strong block? All advice, help, suggestions is welcome. ✌️
