Sorry for 3 replies in row but also wrx even awd somethign i like has a smaller engine then the tc so theoreticaly the tc's potential should be greater then the wrx i ofcourse know that size tires and a bunch of other stuff goes in too but seems to me like i can get more out of the tc lots of people on here i noticed tend to underestimate this car a lot people i know that are heavily into tunning and moding and racign all told me that my car def had a lot of things that coudl be done to it to significantly up the hp.

OK, this thread makes sense.

Your rents brought you the car, you have no money.

Don't do anything to it for 6 months minimum. Do lots of research, read everything you can find on the subject from reputable sources (not just forum stuff, which are notoriously in accurate).

Drive the car as it is for a while, save up money and see where you want to go.

My advice now I know you're position is get the SC dealer installed, add an exhaust. mod the intake, maybe do something with the header (all of these will impact the warranty risks the least) and don't do anything else for the life of the warranty. It's just not worth it, you blow the engine, I doubt the rents will pay for the replacement.
