Cool '05 Mazda 3

What are the differences from the '04 to the '05?
I just bought a brand new Mazda 3 sedan
Specs:
Titanium Gray
2.3 L engine
Sports package with 17" wheels
HID headlights
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Leather interior (comes with sports I think)
ABS and side curtain air bags

Is there going to be a turbo kit available for my car, or is there one that is already compatible?
