Take a look through the FAQ section.  As you can guess, that is a Frequently Asked Question.

with 'easy power' comes increased fuel consumption and oil consumption, and potential to break stuff.

if you have any mechanical ability, i would suggest installing an intercooler, and then increasing the boost pressure with a manual boost controller, and maybe tweaking the fuel like in the FAQ  (this is pretty much all covered in the FAQ)

The "first" thing shoud be a bigger pipe, turbo to bumper.

Then it will be EASY to dial in more POWER, with out toasting your engine.
