I'd say first and formost you need to answer this question "What are your goals for this car?" once you have that nailed down you can look at your plan to get there!
Mine is to have a quick 1/4 mile FWD sleeper and fun daily driver...so below is my path to get there
1. shifter bushings (and short throw shifter if you like em)
2. motor mount
3. intake
4. turbo inlet (RPMC is my recommendation)
5. downpipe
6. upgrade intercooler
7. engine management

my rational for this plan is simple...the shifting and tranny link up on our cars is poor and not fun...fix that and move on to power mods...our car can't breath well stock...new intake n inlet lets it get that air that it needs. this moves the bottleneck to the downpipe so that's next. from this point an intercooler upgrade will help keep the car consistent and not lose power due to high air temps.
last a tune...


seems like a good start...by the time you get here you prob have learned a lot about your car and won't need to ask...

I would not recommend getting a racepipe unless you enjoy having to get under your car every time you wanna take your car to the dealer.

Some people don't mind, but at least you've been warned.

Get something dealers shouldn't care about like:
1. Motor mounts
2. suspension parts
3. short shifter
4. catback exhaust
