TBH, m8 not really worth considering such a conversion on your engine. The 1.2 16v isnt strong enough (unless u start uprating internals, but no-one currently offers them)
even if u could get all the bits to get in done it wouldnt be cost effective + even if the conversion is done perfectly chances are a few months done the line the engine could just go bang
if u have a couple of ££££'s to spend i would reccomend getting the dbillas inlet manifold + unichip This should see u pushing (at least) 95-100bhp and have u easily beeting 1.4 SRI corsa C's.

maybe dunno 
maybe the costs involved I know someone with a turboed cinquecento and that costs her quite a bit in maintenance

Could make 300bhp.
If you pocket is deep enough.
