I did a search for "turbo" and was surprised that I didn't find any threads on adding a turbo to a stock 1.7, 1.8, or 2.0. Is this not a possibility or just not a good idea because of reliability and longevity issues? What would be better for 160-180hp, turbo a 1.8 or swap in a 6? What would be cheaper?

Most of the parts can be had used for very low cost. You would need the exhaust though. You could probably do it for $1000 or less if you set your mind to it. That doesn't mean that the stock motor could handle the power. You would probably want to do a full rebuild with quality parts. especially the pistons and rods. Might want to figure out how to incorporate knock sensing stuff too so you won't blow up any pistons.
