Default Should I trade,sell or keep my car

One of my friends hooked me with a good deal on1995 240sx his friend was selling.The 240 needed some work but the pricefor was really resonable.I have always liked dsm(eclipses,talon,) and I have them in mind hoping to own one sometime soon but Don't have the money for one completey yet cuz of the money I have put inthe 240 getting it running and minor body work?

I trying to think since i only have exhaust and intake is it worth turboing the motor or buying a 1g(90-94) or 2g(95-99) dsm turbocharged and upgrading from that.I want the best bang for my buck. The DSm are makin 210hp @214hp the 2g and i think 1g 195hp @ 203lbs

Im looking to be around the 300-350 range

I found a turbo kit for the 240 KA24DE motor (2.4 liter DOHC155hp-160-165Lbs) on the dyno The turbo kit Stage1 is $2000 232rhp @ 8psi
+$600 Stage2 300whp@15psi

The Kit includes intercooler E-manage and upgraded fuel rail and injectors

Im trying to see if I save money or its the same weither I mod the dsm i want or just mod my 240 with a KA turbokit or buying a lightly modded 1g or 2g dsm.

Stay away from dsm's, it has cheap parts and the aftermarket parts are cheap, expect it to not run most of the time. Get the 240 and save your money to buy an SR-20 and build it up before you swap it in, or if you want to go all out get an RB-26DET, but thats money galore but well worth it. I'de say get a cheap high mileage 240.
