Re: need more power!!!

There are a couple of things you can do depending upon how much you want to spend but getting the car chipped would be the one modification that would provide the most improvement. Look into companies like Neuspeed, Wetterauer and Greedspeed. You could also put on a better exhaust system and better air intake.

**EDIT** I should mention that getting the car chipped may give you issues with your warranty so proceed cautiously here if that's what you do. The rule is that unless the dealer can prove the chip caused the problem he cannot void the warranty but its a battle you may not want to get into. My car is no longer under warranty so this was not an issue for me.
