Welcome to SNet 
Not being sarky, but my own personal opinion would be to not spend any more and save the money towards a turbo'd model later. Not sure how much you can get out of the 1.6 anyway.

Agree with corradoboy - by the time you pay for the modifications, take on board the possible additional insurance costs if you declare your modifications the costs could quicly outweigh the benefits.
You could probably sell your 1.6 and get into a late classic turbo - insurance and running costs permitting - for not a lot of pounds.

Will a turbo engine fit directly in. Place in Dublin selling for about 3000.00 including fitting
Want to keep car as not a lot of green scoobies around also have a lot of body parts to fit - grill,twin exhaust,fog light cover,front rear lip,roof spoiler etc.
