since it hasnt been moved yet, i respons

Since you already have a 4cyl car, stick with the 4cyl swap, cause converting to a v6 is expensive and time consuming, or so i've heard.

The 4cyl swap to the 1.8 i belive is faily straight forward and cheep, but it will be the turbo part which will be expensive...so who know, the ZE swap may be cheeper of the two, but the 1.8 definitely have more potential and is very turbo friendly

I would suggest you to get your motor in Quebec instead of USA. BPTs around here are ~1200$ CAN (at least, that's whay I paid for mine)

It's almost half of corksport price.
