Short answer is yes. The engine will fit fine. You will need to use the ECU of the T5 and you will need to convert the car to use the cable driven throttle body.

Also, this need to be moved to the correct section.

It actually depends on the options of the R motor. If it has VVT then no the motor will not be a drop in.
