Default for someone more mechanically inclined than i

I swapped an 04 gli motor into my 01 jetta, saw this coming. the 04 came with a bigger turbo (its a 1.8t jetta btw) so my inlet pipe and gasket btween turbo and mani dont match up, sooo should i order a turbo out of an 04 or should i order an inlet pipe from an 04 as well as the gasket? or call vw and have some custom fabrication done? any input would be greatly appreciated
THANKS!!!!

Why would you think a VW dealership would do custom fabrication on a car with an engine swap?
