I'm going to looks further in to them. At this point, I'm not sure that it is something that I am going to do, though I wouldn't mind making it something which operated in conjunction with a block heater. I don't want to load the electrical system any more than I already am as I want to downsize the pulleys.
I finally found some good information on MK5 electromechanical steering:

It looks like the electrical aspect is going to be nightmarish and most won't be interested in following so I am going to swap the whole aluminum subframe over. The frame rails are spaced the same between the two cars at 35" but the front mounts are not as the MK4 mounts extend more inward. I should be able to cut the spot welds and transfer the mk5 mounts to the mk4 with relative ease.
The interior is coming along rather nicely. The chassis harness is almost out. I'm going to leave in all of the components for ESP and add it to my harness. I won't be able to talk with it via vagcom through the IMMO2 cluster but at least the switch will function. Hopefull it isn't an automatic ABS light. If there is, I'll probably gut it from the cluster.
