I wouldn't waste your time and effort fella, if you want to turbo it, id see about getting hold of a engine from one of the later pug models that are already turboed, isn't the bmw mini that runs a turbo pug lump?
god knows what you would have to do to make that fit and work. If I were going to do something like that then id be looking at this for starters, or even talking to the saxo boys as I am sure some of them did turbo the 1.6 16v, but how successful they were etc, I couldn't tell you! My mate tried to turbo his, and bailed out. Due to discovering it was bodged up kit he had bought! Wasn't nice to see my mate, fork out 1500 quid on this kit, and then only to discover it was a load of shite after he pulled the car to bits. Only befit out all that in the end was a new headgasket and timing belt. It pissed him off that much that he put the car back together and sold the car on, and sold what he could off the kit.
