If you have the extra cash to spend it's always a good idea to start off with the better platform. It'll save you time and some money (not quite as much as the TT costs over the n/a) down the road if you swap in a 2jz-gte anyway. Insurance will almost always cost more in a turbocharged car vs. a n/a. It won't be way higher but it will be noticably more, the younger you are the more your going to get shafted on it, so just be prepared. If you want mid 500's you will want to swap out the W58, 350-400 is about the limit daily, some have more, some have less.

if you didn't tell your insurance company you did it then no, but at the same time they will not cover it I don't think if you get in a wreck.
