Hey, welcome!

2zz is your best bet. Solid power increase, readily available, and fairly straight forward. But if you do that, might as well buy a GTS if possible. If not the 2zz, consider a Honda K or B series and be sure to search to find more insight!

That is possible, BUT if you want to turbo an engine, your GT's 1zz is a better set up as it sits. (Lower compression, etc)
