I wouldn't recommend it. Why turbocharge? Because you're looking for more horsepower than you can get out of the engine any other way. But remember, forcing HP means stressing the engine. If you're looking to get good life out of the engine you need to overbuild it.

Let's throw out a number: You want 120hp out of your engine--double what a VW engine normally makes. You could get it out of a 1600cc engine, but you'd have to use a forged crank, forged pistons, and so on if you wanted a reliable engine. Or you could use 94mm pistons, stroke the engine a little, still use the forged crank...by the time you're done you've got a more reliable engine if you start by building a bigger engine in the first place.
