mate,go and get a turbo diesel engine,the bottom end has differences to cope with the extra stresses,it also has oil jets to cool the underside of the pistons,

No more wiring need in a td lump

5spd box will fit straight on

A SB 1.6 td lump out of jetta, mk2 golf or a AAZ out of a mk3

Not big money

Check out vwdieselparts forum some of them have just bolted a turbo on
