Easier to sell up and buy a turbo

[oliver07]

It's not worth it because not only do you need all these parts everyone has listed you need the time and tools to do it or the money to pay for it to be done. And for less you could sell the 1.6 and buy a 1.8T.

If doing it yourself then it may be worth it. Otherwise may turn out much more than selling yours and buying a 1.8T car.

Building what you can buy is never worth it.
