welcome and when you get it ,fill out your sig,so we know what you got,as far as maintenance,most will change oil and filters when they buy,which is smart.so i would do that,clean the fpr screen,also buy a spare cps,or a couple.depending on if it has mods yet,buy a napa 6637 filter,and get a 3in down pipe,and a straight pipe so it can breathe,plus your turbo will sing.goodluck
