914 turbocharging

i've got an all stock 1.7l 914 engine that I'm putting in my beetle. rebuilt bottom end and all new top end.
My question is, I know anything's possible, but is it realistic to turbocharge my engine?
I'm planning on using a Bosch K-Jetronic CIS system for fuel delivery, will this work with the turbo?
most of the fabrication I'll do myself so thats not a big concern, but wold it just be smarter and cheaper to tear it apart and build it out to 2.0L? will this give me more power?

basic rundown of my car
'54 beetle on a '70 pan
1.7L 914 engine
911 style cooling
901 tranny
944 brakes
928 phonedials
