ive done it to a 1400 16v and i found it spot on.... will cost about £1500 if you do it yourself with proper parts... but can be done cheaper..

Dont waste your money! Turbo charging a 1.6 will cost loads and it could potentially make it unreliable! Putting a 2 litre in will make it handle like a bag of sh*t!

Nah, serious! Out of all my cars the Scooby has cost me the least! I just dont get the urge to mod it at all! 
The best mod I have got so far is an Escort "Cabaret" 1.4! Drive that to work all week and the P1 feels awesome when i get chance to use it at weekends!!!
