If you just bought the car, I would say keep it as it is for a bit, at least till the warrenty comes out.

Road Race Engineering will be making their turbo kit public soon.

If you wanted a car to go fast, sorry to break it to you, but you picked the wrong one.

Well I don't want to go that fast but I don't want to top out at 134 either I was thinking just to give it just a little extra kick

also how do I turn the traction control of in the GS version because the manual says theres a button to turn it on and off but it isnt there when I look

Ah, in there lies the great question of tuners, modders, and builders: how long is the break-in before breaking the "removing this sticker voids your warranty". I'm a PC modder as much as an auto tuner and I can tell you, the motivation to break that seal is a vert strong one.

I'm still trying to decide at what point have I broken the warranty? PIAA bulbs: I know I'm good there. K&N Filter: I'm pretty sure I'm okay with. Injen exhaust: not so sure. Ripping the crap out of the MMCS to install a larger HDD and crack the DVD-InMotion restriction: yeah, I've brobably voided something at that point. Beyond that: yep, the dealership will laugh at me when I report the least problem with the car.

Once "the smell" is gone, the warranty is void... start tearing into that girl!
