A3 and B4 Passat TDIs are DBW, the only benefit is they don't have
immobilizer clusters, so the wiring side of the swap is easier.

The IDI engines are capable of silly power, and the tuning process for the
mechanical pump TDI is the same as the IDI (no chips or tuning boxes
option.)  Injection pumps are either hybrids (a mix of IDI and TDI parts) or
sourced from European (non-VW) applications adding to the cost and
complexity of the swap.
