firstly, good choise on the ej20T, my bug has a ea82T in it... if you're ever in sydney come check it out, it's all the same only your engine will be bigger, and have a front mount.. alot of work has to go into the EJ20 conversion.. it's less hassles doing a conversion to a EA82... you can use the stock gear box and don't have to cut much out of it... radiator placement is the same, but the ea82 don't need to run an intercooler.. but one can obviously be fitted.
i also know a few place around sydney that import engines and the lke. let me know if you want em.

good luck.
