the engine is a development of the 1.4 bottom end from a polo 16v so technically speaking it hsouldn't be too much work to get that in situ.  There are a hell of a lot of ancillary bits to fit in though, I think it'd be a struggle to fit both the turbo and the charger in there.  The electrics would be a nightmare too.
