.7L turbo to replace 1.5L for 12% better FE

This is an awesome little engine! (and cute too, lookit how small it is haha)

.7L 3 cylinder turbo
direct injection (gasoline)
100 hp 103 ft/lbs
SOHC but has "dual independent cam phasing, allowing for fully variable valve timing and overlap on both the intake and exhaust ports" - dunno how they do that, but that sounds awesome
delivers 32% more torque than a typical 1.5L engine @ 1500 rpm
