Starting by saying I'm not sure what's legal in your area.
But to answer your question simply would be a VR6 motor or R32 as they can be made to fit albeit with custom control.
As they say there's no replacement for displacement.
Add forced induction to that motor and you'll know the result.

20V turbo is also a good choice if that's the case

If you are set on a turbo motor then as above any 1.8T from a MK4, Audi A3/4 or TT. But if money is no object what about a 2.0FSI from a MK5 GTI.

thanx guys

and HP Numbers of the said engines ?

Don't worry about legal or not, it is all legal here.

Stock 20V Turbo 180-225 bhp
Stock VR6 190Bhp
Stock R32 230-240bhp
Stock 2.0 TSI 197bhp

All of them are highly tuneable, so pick a number. There is a VR6 Turbo in Germany with 650bhp....
