JK and no not Just Kampers, the diesel engine

If you have read some of my threads you may know that I have and still having problems with my Nancy, thats our van.
Anyway the valves and number 4 piston are WRECKED!!!!!!!!

I managed to get another CS engine Oh sh*t it was one of the really early ones and the pistons had different little end bearings head studs shorter and narrower. No Good

Managed to get a replacment head but could I get a piston? VAG there usual extortionate price, when available
Anyway just picked up another 1.6 diesel but it is a JK model, smaller piston diamatre

So now I have to change the whole lot

However reading the head gasket packaging it mention a TURBO
Ok does this mean I can fit a turbo?

Sorry about all of this bit of a story for a question.

I would have gone down the 1.9n route rather struggling and spending good money on the 1.6 cs/jk to get a good engine out of it.Others on here may give a diffrent explanation with regard to fitting a turbo on your cs/jk set up.But i thought oil jets fitted to the cylinders was a requirement for cooling and harden valves for higher temp for a turbo .

Thankfully it has cost me very little in money, lots on time but even more on diesel and travelling time.
