It'll cost a lot more to get "valver" power from the 1.6 than it would to just buy a valver. It depends what you want the car for. If your not fussed about handling (even though handling on the 2.0 isnt that bad), then go straight for a valver. If you want to stick with the lighter engine, the 1.6 is a good engine. Turbo, or carbs, it's up to you, but it wont be cheap.

Best of bot worlds a tuned 1.6 16V, lighter so you keep the handling and still makes good power.

get a 2.0 16v. its pretty obvious your not going to be worried about weight or drivability (ice and big rims) so go for that.
