A popular way to start is flash + exhaust.

I read in another thread about headers that it doesn't worth the money. Too much money for so little power (-5hp). Better spend in the ecu or wait for when doing a turbo upgrade.

+1

Probably not a big bang for the buck. Exhaust + ECU is the biggest jump in HP.

kind of OT but when you do the ECU flash does the sport button no longer work since its actually always on? Or does it up the boost more when you push the sport button?

i'm in the same boat and will starting modding as soon as I figure which ECU flash to go with...

ECU, exhaust , and headers are a good start. Now deciding on which brands to use is going to be your biggest dilema. Take your time and do so some research before you make the dive.

Remember if you go ECU you most likely need to replace the clutch. Best bang for the buck mod IMO is suspension. And then Exhaust. It gets addictive so forewarned.
