Glad you asked that question as I was planning on asking it myself,
A friend of mine had a Seat with that engine in,I couldn't believe how well it went with only 1200 cc's, I think that is what they are.

the 3 cyl tdi is a 1400cc engine 70 or 80 bhp.the 1200cc 3 cyl is a petrol engine. had a polo with 80 bhp engine in it,good for 60 mpg easy and could top 100 mph,bit unstable at that speed.

it would be no harder than fitting a 1.9tdi, the engine is basically the same but minus 1 cylinder,
i have a lupo 1.4tdi and its amazing really nippy and can squeeze 86mpg out of it if it was mapped to 100bhp would still do same mpg but lot quicker, however im seriously thinking of putting 1.9tdi in it, that would be the better conversion more power to start with probably similar mpg too,
