In terms of what are you asking exactly? If you're talking power, you need a different engine.

If you eventually want to do the swap, I would just stick with regular maintenance and get to know the car better. You never get back the money you put into a car, so you'll feel it even more if you do all these mods to an engine you're not keeping. If you want to track the car, you can always do non-power related mods to improve its handling and feel.

No problem. Better flow is always beneficial if you look at the numbers, but it might not be noticeable while driving. Sometimes just knowing you have better air/exhaust flow is enough to go for it, so it's really up to you.

Just an upgraded cold air intake.
From what I understand you can do all the bolt on mods... pop charger, down pipes, test pipes, exhaust and you won't get much gain.
Like already mentioned, you'll need to do the swap, and that can get expensive.
