I was with you up until the turbo part. It's best to do lots of research when deciding on which one to get. Of course a 3 inch exhaust pipe is just as good as the next, and so is a metal tube with an air filter attatched. But when you get into important things like turbos, and various engine internals, if you go cheap, it just might come back to bite you in the ass. If you find a real good deal that's too good to be true, then it probably is.

As far as keeping it or selling it for a gsx it depends on what you want out of the car and how much you're willing to spend. If you want a fun reliable daily driver then keep your non turbo. If you are looking to get good quarter mile times go with the gsx. On the other hand, if you do go with a track star, you best have a reliable daily driver to carry you to the parts store, and get you around while you wait for parts. Most likely, the more mods you make the more down time the car will have. At least that's how it is with me.
