Sounds like you have a couple off experts close to you bud
I would go the bolt on turbo route, forget about the engine, gearbox etc and get a piggyback ECU, the greedy e-manage is popular as a piggyback and your ECU expert should be able to do it
Parts you would need to do a bolt on conversion would be, turbo, manifold, downpipe/decat, intake manifold, intercooler, air intake pipe and probably a few other bits I've forgotten, when in was doing the swap on my Glanza rep I was on budget for All the parts for 400£ all from local boys, Mainly Jay lol. The electrical side i was going to use a GT ECU and engine loom and splice it in to the Name loom, looking back I would just get a piggyback, saves any messing with wiring as the ECU will have its own MAP sensor to sort the turbo and fueling etc out
There are lots of more experienced folk on here could tell you the pros and cons and hopefully we can help you get sorted, I have an intercooler and intake pipes. Maybe a few other bits you would need not at a stupid price either
Car looks very clean, lovely in silver
Edit, the EBay engines are essentially just that, engines, nothing else like turbo etc
