To get a build under 50k you will have to use all second hand parts. Which will not be reliable. And certainly not worth taking the risk. But it can be done.

Would that fit? Would all the bolts fall into place? I am not sure any one has done that yet.

If I am not wrong, the mounts on both the engines are different. Which means that one has to make custom mounts to make this engine fit. Then there is the gearbox too. The gearbox in the 1.2 will not be enough to hold the power put down by the 1.6L unit. Besides, getting an aftermarket clutch for the palio is like landing on the moon with a concorde. So one needs the 1.6L unit along with the gearbox to begin with. Finding this is also extremely difficult.

Under 50k you can go in for a complete good FFE + CAI and a ecm from Race Dynamics.

Definitely. But you certainly wont get the kind of gains you get with a tc. Imagine you getting a FFE, P&P, ECU all for about 50k and getting a bhp increase of 10-15 tops.
Like kutlee has mentioned, exhaust manifold has to be custom made as there are none available off the shelf for the palios. As far as the electronics are concerned upto 5psi I think the stock ECU should be able to handle. If not Rdk's ECU is the only choice.
But only those who own a turbo car know its worth (of spending lots of $$$$). Ask ford rocam, viper, alias, psycho and vikram.
