its pulls harder than a 1.6 from 30 to 70ish but even at 70ish you put your foot down wait a second for boost then it will keep going to ???mph , it also revs like a petrol
you have to be careful in the wet as it can spin up easily due to amount of torque
all this with 40mpg

Or a T2 hybrid with custom manifold

the straight swap is aload off bull poop,
ive been looking at VNT's but id prefer to avoid the expense of a custom manifold, ive got a spare turbo and manifold to play about with though

the problem is how close the manifold sits the the block though the adapter would have to be angled towards the radiator a bit or there mite be some clearance issues.
