m sport bumper or bigger turbo

curious what you guys might think. So today i got rear ended minimal damage though. I was thinking i can have a body shop fix it they quoted me 185 for it, its obv non m sport. but im thinking should i go with the m sport spend the 700-800 dollars on it or do i go with the big turbo. its the n20 i hear with that turbo i can make around 350 whp? i have no idea how much it would be to install was wondering if anyone else might know i would have rk install it and would re tune it. so basically m sport bumper rear not front or bigger turbo?

Turbo

No reason to spend on rear without front.

None of the above?

If you're not changing both bumpers to m-sport, leave it non-msport.

Not sure what level of tune you're at, but id just do fbo with stage II flash and end it there.

If you want more hp/tq get a n55 or b58

What are you hoping to achieve? Tbh I'd drive the car too hard with the turbo and would probably end up blowing it within 2 years. There's only so much the 4 cylinder can take.

If you don't have m sport front bumper I don't see the point in getting a rear? If anything I'd get an m sport front bumper with the cash.

Get the bumper repaired and go FBO. I dk what you're trying to achieve but it's a fun 4 cylinder when tuned. Drive or and drive it hard. It's a car. If it dies, it dies.
