Oh man, the 1.8's are downright horrible to boost unless you can shell out $ for custom parts or fab really well. You'll also need to know how to work a standalone ECU which it sounds like you can't do. Even fully built they suck ***.
As for the 2.0T swap, that too is way more trouble than it's worth, and will cost you a bunch. As for parts of any of the 4G63 turbos or non-turbo 2.0L hell no the manny won't work and most parts won't. It's a totally different motor. It's a single cam, if I remember correctly.
Sell it for $400-$700 if it's running and the boidy is straight and then put that $ toward the purchase of a turbo model. You can get the FWD turbos that need work for next to nothing. AWD's needing work $1000-$1500. You'll be much happier that you did and you'll save lots of $.
