Can be done, but cheaper to buy another car.
You will need:
DSG Gearbox
Full wiring harness
Shifter equipment
Instrument cluster
Driveshafts
flywheel - spigot bearing, starter etc
engine ecu (possibly - depends on your base ecu)
Possibly pedal cluster set (depends on wiring harness)
Assuming you had a wrecked donor car of similar year, there will be between 120 - 300 hours to swap it out. The early to late CAN system changed as well.
Cheaper to buy the later Passat IMHO - resale on a car with original box will always be better too.

I'm just wondering why you would want to do it. Sounds like thinking afterwards that you wanted a diesel instead of a petrol engine and asking what it's going to take to change it over.
Unless your gearbox is stuffed and you have access to all the bits for next to zero cost I'd say it's probably not worth it. And then only if you have a big shed and are looking for a challenge to keep you busy for 3-6 months.

the reason why asking wanted to get more power out of my car. I have stage 1 APR but everyone is not sure on how much power the tiptronic can handle but they know how much the DSG can. I love my wagon and if was going to be easy that why was asking.

in stock form, no. but with some minor work, yes.
where? youll need your transmission model number, then google that number with valve body upgrade. I bet a US company has done one.
it will be a hell of a lot cheaper than a manual or DSG conversion, or even buying a new car.
