for the cost of doing the engine transplant and for the additional cost on the insurance it may be cheaper insuring a standard 2.0 sport. As crazy as it seems it is sometimes cheaper insuring a standard higher capacity car than a modified lesser capacity car.

Best bet, just run that car for a few years, build up your no claims, save up the money that you would spend extra on petrol for the 2.0 and put that together for a sport of turbo in a few years time. Probably not the news you wanted to hear, but probably your best option.
