Your scrap the 1.4 lump and put in a 2.0 Trubo engine. Don't turbocharge the engine you currently have - it won't appreciate it very much.

no point unless you are prepared to spend alot of money uprating internals.. anyone who says 'yeh go for it.. be different' are fools, the only way you'll be different is by having a car thats off the road more than on
