What can I do to get bomb power???

Good luck. No matter what you do, your CVT transmission won't let you get much. As far as I can find, only mods they make for us is an intake and exhaust, and even then, you MIGHT get an extra 2-5 horsepower.
I've been looking but haven't found a tuner compatible with the 2.0L yet, only the 1.5L from overseas. If you found something, it would have to be something that can take a custom tune and then have a reputable shop put it on the dyno and tweak it from there. But either way, the CVT transmissions they use in our cars can not handle a whole lot of horsepower. Probably be lucky to get another 50hp before it started to fail. Not even saying 50hp is possible. Like I stated before, you might see around 2-5 extra hp from an intake and exhaust, and if you could find a custom tune, maybe another 10-20 hp. Just not worth it. Get you a nice intake and exhaust for sound and be happy. I sold a 2019 Civic Type R to get my 2021 C-HR Nightshade, so I definitely miss the power going from 364 (had a bunch of stuff done to it) to 144, but I know I didn't buy a supercar either, so I'm just going to get it looking and sounding like I want and be done with it.
What gets me the most is this car was supposed to be branded as a Scion, and their main push was how much you can fix those cars up. I had 4 of them, so I know. Knowing that, the fact that screwed us with this transmission upsets me. But also, knowing that, I didn't by this one to fix up too much. As I posted above, I got me an intake I like, and I'm gonna get me an exhaust that I like, and that'll be about all I do to it. I traded in a Honda Type R for this, so I wasn't expecting a speed demon when I went in to purchase it.
🤣 that's any "mod" dude. If it didn't come from the factory, it's a mod. You put a sticker on your car the 1st day you buy it and spot some rust somewheres on the same day, they can blame it on your sticker cuz you modded the cat. That's why you have to get to know your dealership well.
Oh, and it's not a full stop on warranty. It's a partial. Say you put an intake on your car, and your door handle breaks, they won't not claim it because of an intake. You only void engine warranty. Also, it takes about 30 mins to swap it back to stock, so no warranty voided.
I've been modifying my vehicles and having warranty work done since 98. I'll take my chances with what and who I know. Never had a problem yet.
