depends on your budgy mate

your easiest and best base would be to get a punto75 engine and ecu and drop that in as its bolt for bolt swap with a minor mod to the loom and this will make for a cheeky little run around that will see off much more expensive machinery, plus its the best base for a turbo project.

if you want N/A power then get yourself a mk1 punto sporting 1.2 16v and drop that in as its great power, my punto had 97.1bhp with basic mods so 100bhp in a cinq would be lethel, but its not as easy as an 8v conversion as the loom needs to be changed, jay the forum owner has a totally insane cinq 1242 8v turbo (punto75 block base)

others have fitted 1388cc 16v but they are for experienced people as they are very tricky.

whats your skill level and budget??
