Id say you'd be better off going for a 1.6 as you get more BHP per £ but up too you.
You could just swap the engines as it's a straight swap.

ive got a few modifications on mine..
such as
manzel style power box inlet
cams
4-2-1 manifold and exhaust
panel filter
RR at 115bhp
and in all fairness it goes really well for what it is..

think standard 1.6 16v bhp is 105bhp roughly.
so mines obviously quicker then a standard 1.6 16v, maybe same as a 1.6 with exhaust and filter..
