Not only is it possibly but Turbo Technics used to do a full conversion kit for this engine.
A scout around may find you a complete second hand kit. I believe they did the kit for early Mk2 Golfs aswell which should be pretty much interchangable.
Good luck!!

I was thinking about the same thing for mine but i decided against it .You will need to change the compression ratio to cope with the pressure of the turbo also use forged pistons , u can get manifolds custom made from a few places (places that do kit car exhausts are usually good) and the downpipe from powerflow or somewhere. you might find all the stock internals of ur standard 1.6 wont take a turbo but unless u try it u wont find out :mrgreen: . good luck with it

with a few tweaks lines up though

Remember, VW made the last car in 1992. After that they started making vehicles.
