Are your brothers very knowlegeable about NA FC's?
You cannot just bolt a turbo kit onto that motor, period.
It requires a major effort to do it right and it would be WAY cheaper to buy a TII.
If you like the way it drives then stick with it, start playing with suspension - strut tower bars are a nice cheap and easy to do improvement. Post some more when you're ready to get some better tires, wheels, springs, struts, brake pads,etc... everyone here will have some useful input for you. (like where to get the stuff and what not to get)
The low mileage should make it a very reliable car, if you turbo that motor you will siginifigantly shorten it's life.

Oh and go autocross the car, you will seriously learn the cars abilities and learn alot from some of the old timers there.
