Yes, and just oil changes at 3K miles. Run a sythetic oil. If you want mega power at a price then go turbo.

look it up with google. you can install it ur self but you woul have to send ur ecu off to sparks for them to reflash it.and if u have an auto you will `hAVE TO order the auto fit kit which is fifty bucks. im not gonna lie it is something that will have your car out of commission for a while if ur doing it by your self.

Performane wise on the tC, the manual is the way to go. So far, I have not heard or any autos being trashed by normal people, just crazies running too much boost at the track.
