Insurance would be too high for a turbo and would it not cost a lot to run? Think il go ahead and get some angel eyes!

Welcome mate. The 2.0 litre engines are really underpowered not really much point in doing a remap. Would just fit an exhaust and induction and maybe do some styling etc until you can afford the turbo. You would end up spending alot of money tuning the engine and still wont get as much power as a standard 1.8T.  :smiley:
