Intake, exhaust, boost controller, tune. No offense to your age but I would get used to that level of power first before moving on. On 93oct that should net you around 330-340awhp.

wait a little bit and get used to the car then start modding, this way you will know what your car is like and have a nice feel for it, i hope insurance isnt under your name either lol

Agreed. Enjoy the car and get comfortable with it for a few months. Meanwhile just read up on things here and get an idea about what other people have done.

If insurance is under your name, prepare for a world of hurt.

Anyways, the car drives really great in stock form. Take some time getting used to the car before modding it. From there, you have so many choices for aftermarket parts. Make sure you research the parts you are looking at, because more likely than not, there is a review somewhere on this forum for that part.

If you are looking for the best-bang-for-your-buck mod, then its a tune hands down. Night and day difference when comparing to stock tune. I got a base flash from a tuner over here, and even if it wasnt a custom tune, the difference was huge compared to the stock tune I had before it.
