probably cheaper and easier to buy a turbo one rather than modify

Apart from the techy stuff wouldn't your insurers have something to say ? I would buy a turbo in the same colour as your 2.0GL / Sport.

my friend put a lotus carlton engine into a carlton estate , it cost around 30k £ to do and was never quite right , if you are certain you want to do it buy a donor car of the right spec , the wiring will be hard work as i expect the ecu will be different along with the loom , then there will be lots of other challenges around it , it would be cheaper buying a complete car and swap your car into the turbo’d car
