A great read with lots of pictures....
"The fuel filter requires relocating also. It will reside on the forward side of the same strut tower in a position similar to that of the Jetta."
"The NA exhaust down pipe will not work because the Turbo outlet is centered more in the car that the original one. The fix I used was to cut the pipe at the flange, weld in a 4 ½ in straight piece and then the original elbow. Works don’t it?"
Don't know if any of this helps you, but it is a MK2 TD swap into a Caddy, so I assume what he did will work for you also.
