Unless its routed differently. I can see a grommet at the firewall on the passat where the pipe was present on mt GTI
Don't know your facility/abilities/skill set, but a one day swap for an amateur without a shop is overly optimistic in my book. Even if the old engine is already out and you have all needed parts on hand. Keep in mind you still need to "refresh" the "new" engine before it goes in.
Oh, and not sure how you're planning it, but we pulled engine and trans as one unit then swapped trans onto "new" engine outside car. I wouldn't want to try it any other way.

I don't know of a definitive source for ID'ing BPY. Just internet searches, checking multiple sites to confirm each other, etc.Thanks Mike yes the 5th is a K on the Passat. I've tried a few times to find a good resource on how to ID BPY engines with the VIN but get mixed results, do you know a source that uses the VIN to ID engine type. Id request the info to confirm but its an auction car and you have to be on site to acquire any info they haven't released.
I did notice that the Passat doesn't have the charge pipe that runs from the firewall to the throttle body, this shouldn't be a problem to use pipe from the GTI I would assume

Regarding the charge air pipe, yes, the Passat and GTI are (more or less) interchangeable. You can re-use your GTI one no problem. The GLI that we were working with has the same noisemaker as the GTI which we did NOT want. We used the Passat air pipe which doesn't have the offshoot that runs air to the resonator and then we closed up the resonator opening at the firewall.
