Get all the fluids and filters changed.

Check all the hoses for cracks and replace as necessary.

i'm not saying you have to go to them, just on that page they have the basic reliability mods (dp, ast, boost guage, etc.) so you can get an idea of what you should do.

there's not really any shops in canada that carry FD stuff, u can usually find your typical/genaric things, ie: boost controller, tt, gauges, maybe exhuast components, at your local speed shop, but for more FD specific, like an ast or whatever your gonna have to deal across the border, or find something used...

happy hunting
