I guess there's no performance advantage on this particular car to switching out the piping, so I'm not in a big hurry to do it

No shit! There's a nice aftermarket cover that replaces the stock one that we'll be getting for it. This one is metal though, so less chance of breakage:
(note the shortened end of the intake pipe and also the alky kit on this car, woot!)

I haven't even driven it yet, just Anna. You can *clearly* hear the turbo when doing part throttle stuff though, I seriously have looked over my shoulder several times wondering if there was a semi next to us or something

I think that's what it is anyways, these cars come with a 'turbofold' like the srt-4. There is a K04 upgrade out there (wank wank) but the gains are marginal.
They do make bolt-on GT28rs/2871 kits though, I guess upgrading the FSI fuel pump on top of the motor is more than enough fuel for a setup like that....hrm....
