Upgrades make sense when you are replacing a small part of something. However, a Next turbo upgrade is a replacement for the whole motherboard. In automotive analogy, you're replaceing the entire drive train. From the marketplace, people seem to be getting 2/3 of what they paid for selling their Nexts used. I would be surprised if you can get an upgrade to an equivalent turbo for only 1/3. Sell your Next, and use the proceeds to buy another one.
