Yes sell your non turbo and buy a turbo model.

Really it is that easy and trust me you will be glad you did.

Your not going to gain near the Hp you want for the money your going to shell out on your non turbo.

Just sell it and buy a turbo.

the other route is to lose weight. but then it looks bare bones and its not so nice to sit in.
