Keep NA or sell and buy turbo?

Whats your opinion? Ok if I buy cams and mildly mod my car, I'm about $1500-$2000 in the hole, and barely keeping up with unmoded and low moded WRX's. So would it more economic to buy a turbo engine out of another subaru for aprox $1500-$3000!
Or even sell my RS at low mileage and swoop a new sti? The RS mods are expensive and don't show much hp and fair to average torque increases. Thanks for the replies!

Well, im all for N/A personally, i like the idea, but with the heads, cams and block rebuild stuff it can get pretty expensive. If you want mild hp increases, go with some mild cams and the other bolt-ons.

But if you want to be pretty quick then i would say to turbocharge the engine you have now, swaps can be pretty pricy unless you do the labour.

I went fully N/A on my car because its unique and i really like the idea. When i just had heads, cams and bolt ons with no tuning i was dead even with a WRX (CAI only mod), with tuning I can walk on them (i was running extremely rich before tuning).

But if I were in your position wanted to be much quicker, I would check out some turbo kits. Turbo makes torque and torque makes fun!
