I can only tell you that the 5T engine hasbeen done before;

More tunig parts will be avalible, and i would think it'd be an easier swap.
Plus a mate had a 2.0 laguna and it was ok but more designed for smoothnes, not power.

go 2.0 16v megane engine... it will fit... mind u got a load of choice

1.4gt, 1.7t, 1.8 16v, 2.0 16v

personally for reliability and drivability I would use the 2.0 16v engine... williams or megane

2.0 16v would be easier and more reliable
