Considering the high output of 218 hp from just a 2-liter engine, I'd suspect some vital elements might be strengthened in comparison to the regular 20d. Perhaps forged crankshaft, etc.?

The turbocharger you mention is certainly different (or at least tuned differently), but it's not a part/subassembly that must withstand the increased load...
