I dunno, "weakness on the turbo" is what, a $6K job? I'm a bit hesitant to call that "easy to fix"
As for the weight... easy! Delete rear seat, swap hood/trunk for CF, remove soundproofing (there's prob 100 lbs just of that) (but keep the interior, don't need to go all out), and strip and weld the rear doors. there's your 400 lbs.
