It's stock, stay at 15psi.
1) The stock 2G bov is plastic and will leak at or around 12psi...the fix is to get a 1G bov and change out the upper intercooler pipe (you'll need to anyway to accomodate the 1G bov).
2) The upgrades mean nothing to performance on their own.
3) Do a complete tune up when buying used from anyone.

Don't go to 18psi for any amount of time because of reason #1...you just can't.
Do a complete tune first before you do anything, then you can do the free upgrades for DSMs.

Look for the green cap with a "L" on it. It's behind the intake manifold, against the firewall, and close to the AC compressor.

You'll have to unlock the car from the driver's side to disarm the stock alarm when it's armed. The driver's keylock disarms it. It would be easier if you have the keyfob of course.
