Change the spark plugs regularly along with religious oil changes with full synthetic 5w-30. I also recommend gutting the PCV and running a UPR Dual valve catch can. These are just some simple mods to prevent the "ecoboom".

Awesome, how often do you change the plugs? My oil gets changed every 8k kilometers, should i do it more often?

Should I be monitoring fuel air ratio and cylinder temperatures too? Not sure what those numbers should be, if theres an online guide you can link me that would be great!

Thanks!

10K miles or every other oil change is a good interval. Plugs are cheap. I ' personally' change oil every 3,000 miles but I'm tuned and drive hard in a hot climate. Plugs and oil are things this car loves to eat.

Charge Air Temperature, Ignition Correction for any of the cylinders, Air/Fuel Ratio & Boost Pressure are probably the most popular gauges that people like to monitor.

Most smart people opt for an upgraded intercooler for their first real mod but with you being in Canada and fall approaching I'm not sure the stock unit would be the gaping weakness it is for someone like me. But you can still benefit greatly from a small, but upgraded aluminum intercooler and it shouldn't effect your tune in any negative way.
