What will make it incompatible? Well, there is no doube VANOS unit that will fit the US cylinder head. Even if you had a cylinder head thats has a double VANOS unit bolted onto it, there is a chance that the head may not fit the US Spec block.

Ok then there's the electronics, in order to control the double Vanos unit, you're going to need more sensors, more wiring thus leading to a new wiring harness and oh hey, a new Engine ECU.

Several high performance tuning shops have access to Euro Spec Engines. If I were you I would either get a cam kit, AA Supercharger Kit or an AA turbocharger kit.
