Is there any kit that will take the above engine?

Not a kit but an Elise may be an option.

Both La Bala's LB1 and LB2 will take this engine.

There are loads, surely?? - Or are you talking about 'plug and play'?

my friend wants o fit that engine+the dsg on it.

The engine can be made to fit all sorts of kits, but generally it's the gearbox that allows that to happen. If you want to keep the DSG box, then I suspect you're going to be extremely restricted.

as far as the wiring,got the right man to do it,

I've got a friend with a GTM Libra that has an Audi 1.8t mated to a VW DSG box. Getting the 'box and engine to work (talk)with each other was tricky as VAG had never put the 2 together.

nice!

There was a VAG-powered Libra with a DSG box featured in CKC mag a while back.
The Marlin 5exi takes the 2.0T VAG engine, don't know about the 'box though
