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?

nope, no longer in business, myself and a few others have tried to track them down with no luck...Gene Berg made a kit, sold only a few and the Mark guy that makes headers (and has the horizontal fan turbo'd /6 914) use to make a kit....only a few sold, he no longer has any parts or drawings

a few of the more recent turbo installs have used CIS which came factory on a few turbo cars (Audi and others)

programmable electronic fuel injection is the only way to go in my opinion now that they are much cheaper....

I'm going to turbo my 1.8, for the exhaust, I am using a European Racing header...the turbo will be mounted right off of the collector...megasquirt will supply fuel
...it'll basicly be a /4 version of imchappys turbo'd 3.0 914
