Spend the next few months reading the archives, the newbie sticky, and this forum. Until then, leave it alone.

A downpipe is a good first mod. That was mine. Gives ~10-15 hp, gets rid of the "nuclear" reactor pre-cat and also helps the turbos to spool faster.

Learn how to drive a car like this properly will be the easiest way to get it to go faster. I'm not saying you aren't a good driver (I dont even know you). But everybody knows that the driver makes the difference.

Downpipe first, then do the rest of the reliablilty mods. Search the stickies to find out what they are.

yeah, before you even touch the car, let alone add or remove anything from it, read ALOT about the car first

it'll save you the headaches later
