Congrats on your purchase! I have the same car (mine is Melbourne Red). First item performance wise is a new charge pipe - I got a VRSF but there are many to choose from. This will allow you to go Stage 1 with bm3 (bootmod3) tune (HIGHLY recommended). If you want to go all out then get as well a new front mount intercooler (FMIC) and either a high flow catted or catless downpipe. This should (with the Stage 2 bm3) get you close to 400hp. I'm doing those additions next spring; enjoying Stage 1 for now. I drove the car stock for 3 years (while under warranty) and enjoyed that immensely. These forums are to blame for the mods (both performance and appearance).

These are the most common mods; check particular build threads for more detailed information about other things you can do. The possibilities seem endless...

Enjoy!
