rite my car has just been written off well in the process!
i plan to buy it back of them and mess about with it basicly strip it and tune it on the cheap 
i want to put a c20let init but on the whole is a lil bit expensive atm but i am startin to collect parts for it as cheap as i can 
but i was thinkin whilst iv got bugger all to do ill have a go at turbochargin the 1.4 sport!
i know ur gonna say im wastin my time but the engien has done 120.000 and is worth fuck all so got nothin to lose!
what u reckon also how hard will this be?

You will need the kit to do it, which is just over a grand. Then low comp pistons, £500-600, and a re-mappable ECU, that will need mapping, £600-800 and £400-500. Cheaper to get an LET.
