Default 2008 Jetta 2.5L conversion to 3.2L vr6

hey,
so i just got my jetta in january and i was thinking about getting a passat motor but instead thought about getting an even stronger motor by putting a 3.2L vr6 motor into it. anyone here know what website i should go to to get a vr6 motor and even if it would be worth it to get that engine swap done. if anyone could tell me i would appreciate it

You'd have to get the engine from a scrap yard and you could buy another Jetta for the cost of the swap.

Not unless you've got a lot of extra cash laying around. Along with the engine you'd have to replace the entire drivetrain, ecu and wiring harnesses, cooling system, exhaust and a host of other things including a lot of machining.

i could just put a cold air intake and better exhaust on my car so that it gives it a little bit of a horsepower boost but not too much and give it a good little throaty noise cause thats always nice lol

If you really wanna help change the way it sounds, get some headers for it as well as an exhaust. I put some headers and exhaust on my '02 4-cyl automatic (I know, I know). It's one of the loudest vehicles around, w/out being all bee sounding. Oh, and you can tell a difference in the power, even if it is still slow. =0)
