Why not just fit the 1.6 CVH?

Yes the cvh turbo parts would fit but the engine is unsuitable for turbocharging as the 1.4 "lean burn" engine you have has too high compression
If you can find one worth having now a swap to a 1.6 cvh turbo engine would be the better bet
Best way to get there is to find a rotting Rs turbo & buy the whole car
