My 2c after installing a Protomotive TT kit, then uninstalling it is this: enjoy your car as-is, because HP is overrated. I don't miss the power at all, since 280 hp is plenty for a 3,000 lb car.
But if you can't resist, then sell your car and buy a factory TT unless you've sunk a ton $$$ into your car and you never plan to sell it. If you really have to mod yours, then a s/c engine is great fun on the streets (currently driving a '10 S4, supercharged) but TT is better for the track.
If you don't heed this advice, trust me, you'll regret it.

If you are the type who always want to mod, then mod your current car. And only do that if you are really into it.
If you get the turbo, I'd leave it alone. These are becoming classics. Modding it definitely won't do you any good in resale. Try to imagine a modded Jag Etype or modded Dino. At some point, an original car is more desirable than a modified one. I think 993TT is hitting that spot soon, if not already. People are paying stupid money on these now.
