Engines and Turbos: Which ones?

Question

I am starting to seriously think about upgrading the engine in my 205. I want a Diesel in this car (will be getting a 1.6GTi soon to get used to a petrol before I get an Mi16) but was wondering which I should get. I?m tempted to stick with the XUD7T for simplicity but was wondering if any of the 1.9s would be a good idea? Or even the larger diesels such as the 2.5? If I got one of these could I change the turbo for a better quality one without cooking stuff?

I will of course be changing the brakes, suspension, driveshafts etc. and the gearboxes if needed (or I should say I?ll get a mechanic to do it for me) :D

Cheers

i've seen a 205 GTI1.9 fitted with a XUD9TE and being tuned to a mere

160BHP afik its a more or less straight swap, apart from the electrics i'd say but sure pug does not invent the wheel twice so there should be many cross connections in the car
