well i've been thinking about what to do with my engine and i wasn't sure if i could turbo it, but now i have seen that 1.4 turbo on here i now its possible my engine is a x16xe how much would we be talking to get it turbo'd? 
 
the reason i want to turbo it is so that i have the nice turbo noises with non of the big cost's of a let and its different 
 
cheers in advance

Not really an answer to your question. 
But an idea of potential cost...

if it was cheap, made big power, and was reliable do you not think people would have done it more by now?
