Welcome to I CLUB!!
i would recommend a Turbo back exhaust from HKS or BLITZ. Tein Flex Coilovers or Tein Super Street Coilovers. Also u shoud get it tuned or get COBB AP and reflash the ECU. nd enjoy ur ride.

Welcome to I-Club. . . There are so many set ups you can go with. . . start with a cobb acessport, turbo back exhaust, sway bars, strut bars, springs/coilovers. STAY AWAY FROM blow off valves unless you have a upgraded turbo with a tune.

yea... our cars don't run well with atmospheric BOVs .... most turbo cars don't... for a daily driver i would just go with suspension work and maybe a quite catback. don't let it become a money pit... unless u want a money pit. lol

Agree with all above (expecially to avoid getting a BOV) but I have to tell you, best bang for your buck is Engine Management, especially if you go with something like an Access Port from Cobb that can adjust with the modifications you make.

Enjoy your car

welcome and congrats on the new car
no BOV please
just get a decent TBE and get the car tuned to run correctly
stg2 power should keep you satisfied for about a few months

Blow off valves....just say no. Yeah they sound cool but they are pointless unless you have a turbo setup thats optimized for one.
