I have a couple threads on TS about exactly this type of project. I'm currently moving forward with this as part of my TDI swap. I plan on running one of the new 3.27 ratio diffs. I even have a gentleman in Seattle who will be working with me to do a direct swap between his automagic bits and my manual items--stem to stern. No money changing hands.
