I don't want a new car lol. I have 1.6 Elite in a lovely spec and I adore it. I'm fairly sure it was impossible to get my exact car with a turbo from the factory back in 2010, which is why I want to go to the trouble of fitting a turbo onto mine. It'll be a bit unique.

I would have thought fitting a bigger turbo to a 2.0 cdti would be the route to go rather than going the bi-turbo route
That's a fair point. I am considering that also, but if I'm going to swap the engine I'd probably look into a 2.0 vxr or something rather than just the 1.6T.
I'd be interested to see blueprints/diagrams of the 1.6T and non turbo engine side by side, because I honestly thought it would just be a case of adding the stock turbo from the 1.6T and all the turbo specific parts... I'd assume that anyway as car manufacturers make everything compatible and what not to make assembly quicker and easier etc.
