It would be significantly easier, IMHO, to turbocharge your existing motor than to install a 16V head. I don't think anyone has done this without using B234 or custom pistons (with valve reliefs cut), so right there, you're talking major work.

You can turbocharge your existing motor w/out ever taking the head off. The most difficult part is probably fitting the turbo oil return to either your block or oil pan. Everything else is essentially bolt-on. See the sticky thread on this topic at Turbobricks.
