i would like to know if it is possible to put a punto gt engine into a 99 bravo and how much i would be lookin at?
 
Unless you're asking if a Punto GT engine would fit in the boot for transporting (which it won't unless you put the back seats flat, then the answer is

Why?!

Bravo's are available standard with a 155bhp petrol version, or you can get a 100bhp diesel and have it remapped to 150bhp. If you absolutly had to do an engine swap why not take a 2.0 20v turbo from a coupe and fit it in?
 
the punto GT engine is crap, its still a 1.4 8v no matter what you do to it. just because it had a turbo welded onto the exhaust manifold it doesnt suddenly become a good engine. the extra insurance would be silly as well. it would be cheaper to get a 1.8HLX like mine, or if you want silly power and a turbo, get a JTD HLX and remap it to heaven, and still enjoy going to pay for fuel. either way you look at it, converting to a GT engine is a waste of money, wont give the performance you expect and wont be cheap to run. the only possible advantage is you get a nice dump valve whoosh so everyone knows you've got a turbo, but that doesnt mean much when you get overtaken.
