swirls the water in your system making the bubbles rise to the top and essentially out of the water.

Rs Turbo's have a swirl pot as standard that is there to help running temps.

Depend what you want out of it.
Most popular mods would be a chipped ECU and a Front mount IC to allow for more boost.

Agree with Rob but ditch the dump valve and put the standard airbox on.

There is loads you can do but sort the suspension and the brakes first and fill it with the best oil. Then ensure your cooling system is up to the job before turning the wick up.
