If you want turbos and FMICs and boost why didn't you buy a diesel?
If you chose the 1.4 for cheap tax, then the newer HDis also have cheap tax, if you bought it for cheap insurance, dont forget the insurance company will ra*e you for all the stuff you're gonna do to it!!
What I will say though (from owning standard 1.4s which can barely handle 75bhp), is you'll have to uprate the gearbox, clutch, suspension (bigger bars at back and something less bouncy up front) AND the brakes, especially if they're only 247s and the little drums. It won't be quick or cheap to do but should be good fun when you've finished if you'd rather have a turbo than a big NA engine.
