Having gone 1g turbo--> 1g N/T ---> 1g turbo I'd like to offer a few tips on improving the 1g N/T 2.0 experience. 
Turbo 1g steering wheels -- so much nicer since they're laether wrapped, wider, and simply feel much much better and upgrade for $10-$20 is completely worth the effort and autozone loans out pullers for free.
Turbo seats-- some have lumbar + thigh support adjustments like the ones found on many if not all 1g turbo talons and are soooooo much nicer for everyday driving and longer trips the're worth swapping out for which i did.
Tire size upgrade -- going from stock 205/55/16's to 215/55/16's are not only a bit wider giving noticably better handling BUT ride compliancy is much improved because sidewall height is a bit higher and they soak up the road better around town and highway ride is much improved too -- increased handling with better ride is a win/win situation without having to change wheels.
The last thing I can mention is I put a used 1.8 DP on my N/T 2.0 a/t and liked the smaller diameter pipe much better at least with my cat off the car since it provides a little more backpressure and unless you're running your N/T to redline the slightly smaller pipe helps the car to get moving especially for around town and did not notice ANY drawback like driving at 80 mph on highway or any rpm range where it hurt anything with only much nicer qualities all around.
Thought I'd pass those few tips along for improving the 1g N/T experience and not only because I happen to have a turbo steering wheel + 1.8 DP FS from my part-out car but to help other N/T owners perhaps enjoy theirs a little more
