for the power gains it would be easier to put a petrol engine in, maybe a 1.6 sport engine? get a car cheep that has accident damage, you can get a decent sport interior this way also

trying to convert your diesel to TD is the only way forward for least amount of cash i reckon, or wait until you can afford something better. lot of faffing around though, unless you can find a complete 1.5TD engine, and drop that in
