i am confused now.
are you going to do the conversion yourself or are you paying people to do that for you?

Don't think such a project would be worth it, through all the problems of changing the actual engine, buying everything, to possible trouble popping up after the engine conversion is done... Easier saving up for another 6 months and buy a new car immediately...

but the point is i don't want another car :/ see this kinda annoys me bout this is most people who waana do stuff like this usually get gunned down buy people sayin nooo its not werth it nd stuff but if people want to do it then give them encouragement bout it , most things are pointless but if people have the heart to do it give them a lil bit of hope

Dont bother dude, tune the engine youve got. its probably the most commonly tuned peugeot/citroen engine or a hybrid of it so parts are easy to get hold of, knowledge is known and you could see around 300bhp from forged internal and turbo etc  alot of power for such a small car.

Dude, I personally thing the 1.6 is a better engine than the 2.0 gti and gti 180. You look at 106 gti's and saxo vts. People get some power out of those!

Why do you need an uprated fuel pump and cooling fan?

you can't compare a 2.0 to 1.6, considering the torque and power power 2.0 still has an advantage. but that doesn't mean the 1.6 is a bad engine.
i would tune the 1.6 or 2.0 lump. but i wouldn't drop a 2.0 lump and then tune it. it is just asking for troubles and $ as well. not to mention gti nowadays are as cheap as chips
