Now confused. Wait for Turbo, SC, or just paint?

Well, I'm sure you have all read about the recent issues with some turbos. I'm very glad that I am stuck overseas and just reading about it and not experiencing it. Now I have serious doubts about the turbo which I WAS gonna get this summer upon my return. So I need some advice. As someone with NO EXPERIENCE with working on cars, should I 1) Continue to research (not sure I'll ever grasp it though), and wait on a tried and true turbo kit (maybe custommaxima?), or
2) Go with the SC, or
3) Admit I don't have the knowledge to tackle these additions and just get a y pipe and a professional paint job (I want RED!).

I currently have a PR CAI, Greddy EVO, and just ordered TEIN springs, tokicos, and a big brake kit from Precision Brakes (for the turbo, haha).

So I still have a month before I return and start spending my money on installs and such. Plenty of time to change my mind a couple of times over again. Thanks for your advice.

It's an auto. I'm leaning towards the SC cause I want some speed (and I also forked out the money for the brake kit). I'm just not sure I would be able to handle all the maintenance of it. Most, ok all, of my repairs if needed would probably go to the shop as I'm not mechanically inclined.
