nah i was in the red one with my budy rich (89ludesi)

I want to put a cold air intake, and upgrade the turbo, but my mom doesn't want me to void the warenty. the car only has 1089 miles so i need to put a couple more thousand just to break it in.

you really need to read this before you start modding.....

http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/show...&threadid=2271

you SHOULD NOT put a cold air on it until you have engine mgmt and an upgraded fuel system!
heres a sample.....
I fully understand the reasoning behind this mod in some WRX owner’s eyes. In most other cars a good Intake is worth 5 to 10 hp, however not so in the WRX. It does change the turbo spool sound to add a quite nice scream at full boost, however can potentially damage your engine, not to mention little to no power gain. The stock intake (minus the resonator, See Exhaust for diagram) is capable of 325 hp. Intakes simply lean your car out (More Air Less Fuel) to gain power and can seriously hurt your engine and turbo if installed before engine management and injector upgrades.

Any of you all seeking WRX knowledge should click on over to www.wrxtuners.com or PM me. Joey knows a significant amount about WRX's in addition to being an ASE master mechanic. So, between the two of us (who are both moderators on WRXTuners) we should be able to answer any question you have.
