Depends on what you consider important.

if its cosmetics you might want to buy a complete setup from these guys:

or
Hofele Design | Tuning and Styling for VW Touareg II (7P) | Car body & Design

If you want to impress the die hards on this site, cosmetics alone won't do it. You may want to chase down a V8 TDI engine and drop that into your ride...without a doubt doing that would make it the baddest ass Touareg on this side of the planet.

On trying to retrofit factory air suspension....forget it. It would be less costly to sell your Touareg and buy a Cayenne diesel with air suspension.

Is there any chance my 2014 engine bay would even be able to house the V10 TDI, if I were able to get my hands on one of those suckers?

How epic would that be!?

With taste,
Touareg TDI owner for life(s)!:p
It won't fit a V10. Itll fit a V8 TDI. The V8 is much more powerful, lighter and smoother than the V10 could ever hope to be. So in reality V8TDI>V10TDI in every aspect ie:

V10 = 313hp, 553tq PD technology (lotta clatter and rough)
V8=385hp, 627tq ( CRD technology no clatter and silky smooth)

The V8 responds better to chip tuning since it uses a 4 valve head vs the V10s archaic 2valve heads

You can get V10 power numbers out of the V6 TDI with a good tune...plus an engine with half the weight. So while the V10 was cool in 2003, its not really relevant in 2015.
