I don't know if I can tell you how many hp you are going to lose, but if you plan to go with 3" when you get the turbo, I'd say wait before doing any exhaust work unless it's rusting (yours had better no want to be in AZ)

If you want to add some performance to your car, there are several things you money would be better spent on. Or, but it towards your turbo fund. You'll be able to get your turbo that much faster.
