and about your question no its not worth it, you can find cheap ones on ebay for less then the cost of a full rebuild.

that clanking is probably metal against metal inside your block, matter of fact you probably spun a bearing...if you know enough about doing the work,and have some decent tools, replacing that motor with the same motor shouldnt take much more than $400...you wont find much in appearance mods for less than that anyways...maybe a wing, or some lights, but rims and body kits cost more than that....Run good first,look good second

i know if i turbo'd the car, i would have to get the right equipment for my motor to handle the pressured air. almost like putting in nitrous or supercharger. sooooooo then where would i find one to fit the engine

the stock 1.6 litre will handle boost fine, i have 95k on my boosted motor, and it is strong as ****, i wouldent worry bout beefing up the motor for a turbo, but they dont make a kit per-say for the 1.6 litre, i had to piece mine all together, and custom install it, so its alot of work.
