It is up to you to decide if you want to turbo your current motor or just go with the BPT. The stock motor can handle good amounts of power so no worries there
As for turbos, you can go with a GTX or a GTR turbo. You can also check out www.barelylegaltransplants.com as another option. If you are willing to spend the cash, everything you need is available.

You are probably just dealing with poor welds, my car sees atleast -20 in the winter. As for cast vs tubular, the flow is much greater with a tubular. If you just want a "for now" kinda job go with a cast, I would suggest the tubular though.
