how much will it cost you to get all the parts for a turbo kit? my friend says it took him like $3,200 to get every thing he needed, including injectors, fuel pump, fpr, boost controller, used Apexi S-afc, a 13g turbo off a second gen eclipse and custom made manifold, he is using an intercooler from a 96 Talon tsi that he got from ebay for like 100 bucks, but of course he did all the welding, cutting and made his own piping, he does have the 4 cyl GS model like yours, he is now making 267fwhp and trapping 109mph and 13.xx sec quarter on pump gas and get this, he has the tiptronic trans, which is a feat of great proportions, at 7 psi but of course also his car has no ac and he is on stock internals so he can't push it too much yet, I believe there is potential for your car, I don't think that was a lot to spend to be faster than even the newer V6 eclipses, but I must also mention that he gutted the car of almost all creature comforts and back seats are gone
